Do you think the younger generation today can survive the technology from 2000s?

[media=https://youtu.be/5w731lJVhNM]

I watched this video on YouTube a few hours ago, and I wondered how the teens today would react if they were compelled to live with the late 90s or early 2000s technology. Most of us lived the era I am referring to. It might not make any difference to us, but it will certainly make the younger generation today go bonkers. I can visualise them cursing and yelling their lungs out at the slower uploads and time-consuming downloads. I can see them completely frustrated. However, I also see them finally using their cognitive framework, reasoning, and stream of consciousness to do something constructive. They might value the education more than social media influencing. Well, things might go haywire for us as well if we were asked to stick to the technology from 50s and 60s. Maybe even we'll value the books more than the crap available on the internet. The young generation of today will be super depressed if they are instructed to stick to the technology from the 50s and 60s. Gen-X and Millennials have the heart, patience and courage to survive the world with the limited technology, but Gen Z, alpha and onwards can't live without even for a second. This is why the intellect of the society is declining today. Today, crap, adult and obscene content earns millions of views more easily than the content that involves lots of research, effort, logic and knowledge.

The reason why I didn't mention the silent generation and baby boomers is because these generations valued happiness, warmth, peace, and communication more than technology because they witnessed hardships (you know what I am referring to) multiple times. Sadly, most of them are not with us today. God bless them wherever they are. 🙏

Some Gen Z folks are actually sort of doing that. Going with flip phones, ipods and digicams. Turns out being "always on" with a smart phone can be exhausting and not so great for mental health for younger people. For example it is alot harder to cyberbully someone on a flip phone.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Yes, some young folks do take interest in learning about the evolution of technology, but most today consider that their era is the best and the past decades were full of crap. What they are failing to understand is technology will never stop evolving unless we humans decide to bring it to a halt. There's no chance of that happening unless an apocalypse engulfs the so-called normal life. God save the world...🙏
@SoLeRiMix I know plenty of them have been learning far too young that all this tech has a dark side.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Good if you know plenty, but there aren't plenty across the globe. The number might increase in the future, once more begin to realise that today's technology is nothing but a path to mind control and self-destruction.
@SoLeRiMix I am an uncle of 4....so yeah. I see the impact it has unfortunately.
