This popped into my head in the shower, thinking about millenials. Pretty much every kid who was not parented by me or someone like me, who was born after this date has grown up/is growing up with an electronic device of one sort or another more or less surgically grafted to their dominant hand.
This will have huge cultural consequences. What is being seen already is a huge uptick in anxiety disorders. I think in important respects many of these kids are not going to become actual adults.
Every year, year after year, it seems, we extend adolescence just a little farther. Every year, it seems, we demand less and less of our kids.
This of course fits the agenda of the Party of Less Freedom quite nicely.
