Problems with the younger generation

pietro_21

I had a bit of a strange experience the other day it kind of reminded me of school. I'm riding my bike along a track, I slow to let two people pass.two young ish girls 18 one of whom started waving their arms about, pulling faces and making mental disability sounds at me. Although it didn't affect me much I still stop every time this happens to consider how people can be so ignorant. And how people make these judgements (to behave that way) on sight.

I've been thinking a lot about the internet lately and particularly those people who were born after it was created. I have encountered a lot of young adults around that generation, some I have spoken to seem plain rude and seem to think they know everything. I'm thinking those born in ai now will have even bigger problems and be even more complacent.

The correct terms are Digital Natives (those born after the internet was created) and AI Natives (those born after AI was born).

Maybe this sounds like I'm a bit out of touch.

    Youth were never more sawcie, yea never more savagely saucie . . . the ancient are scorned, the honourable are contemned, the magistrate is not dreaded. (Thomas Barnes, 17th century)

    …a fearful multitude of untutored savages… [boys] with dogs at their heels and other evidence of dissolute habits…[girls who] drive coal-carts, ride astride upon horses, drink, swear, fight, smoke, whistle, and care for nobody…the morals of children are tenfold worse than formerly. (Anthony Ashley Cooper, 19th century)

    We defy anyone who goes about with his eyes open to deny that there is, as never before, an attitude on the part of young folk which is best described as grossly thoughtless, rude, and utterly selfish. (Hull Daily Mail, 1920s)
