The boomers with the “kids and always being on their damn phones” rhetoric did a lot to delegitimize a pressing issue that kids can now easily dismiss

But I’m not going to lie, it’s kinda fun to track this and see that those with a “hahahahaha good luck getting a job with that degree” are correct about things that actually matter in life.

    yeah, I've realised being on my phone a lot is probably a big part of a lot of problems in my life, but because old folks criticized it in such a silly way, it's hard to genuinely talk about it.

    But yeah students are asking shit like "why make art" and this is actually scary as hell.

    Same here, though I’m reminded of one of my undergrad classes in my technological ethics course where my professor talked about trade-offs with phones and how you risk being left behind if you don’t use all the new phone programs/apps because it’ll be ubiquitous eventually

    I think we’ve reached the ubiquitous part now
