Judging from all my classmates who won't seem to grow up, i can already tell the generation after "Z" will have no education and are gonna be overobsessed with technology as early as 4 years old.

That's what happens when you get to the end of the alphabet.

Rather than let it frustrate you, see the opportunity in it... if everyone else is too busy being distracted by technology and entertainment, it should be pretty easy for you to work hard and smart and achieve more than them.

Wow, that's interesting..... Most of the posts I've read, of yours, seem terribly immature----I guess it depends on the age of the person doing the judging.....

14-year-olds have always been idiots. Relax.

I'll eat my metaphorical hat if turns out there wasn't a generation that said "The next generation is doomed." :roll:

If you can't socialise it wont matter what you do. I'm smartest and most hard working person in my workplace but because I don't make pointless chit chat or take any interest in the details of anyone elses lives I've been passed over for promotion several times. My boss and colleagues all admit that nobody knows the job or solves more problems than me. That won't get you anywhere in a society of neotenous naked apes.

That's what they say about every generation. But it looks like they're right this time. There's a first time for everything, isn't there?

Most people my age have kids of their own now, and seeing how clueless they are about raising them I guess we know who to really blame. :(

That's one of the signs that we're going through the end times. I wonder if there will even be a Generation 1 or if the world will destroy itself before than.

Probably the last option.

When my parents were children it was acceptable for parents and teachers to beat children to within an inch of their life. When I was a child awareness of autism was limited to non-verbal conditions only (at least where I lived) . In many ways I think we've seen a lot of social progress over the years. Change is inevitable but it doesn't mean it is necessarily bad. When I was a kid the great fear was the internet. Now everyone uses it and it's a part of our society. Most people are very immature at 14 and I don't think it would be fair to judge a person's future parenting potential based on their actions at that age.

it seems to me that in general, humanity is in one long game of 2 steps forward, 1&7/8ths steps backwards and once every few generations several steps backwards. we still have slavery on earth. we still are riven by race and class, after eons in which we had the chance to look upwards and step forward. we seem not to have progressed much as a species 'cept for superficial technological aspects.

Couldn't be more right.
