The biggest problem we face these days is the young 'uns, head down, fingers and thumbs moving, as they frantically surf their smartphones.
We have had a few pulled up by the "bossmen"as to why they feel the need to do this in worktime...
AAAGREEED!!!!! OT RANT COMING!!!
I cant stand this. Its not even that they feel the need. Its just all they know. If they didn't exist on the internet then they don't exist in real life.
We have a 20 something here now who wants to be something, however, he cant look away from it for 10 minutes. He even knows its not allowed but....
This bull*** is even infiltrating my own home regardless of my threats to ban all things digital that don't relate to work. I try to teach my kid (and wife) that its a TOOl, that is all, nothing more. but it seems that I am the only one in my world preaching this. Why the school allows them to have devices at an elementary school level anyway makes no sense to me. My kid doesn't have one, but defiantly has access to one through his peers. He doesn't have internet or violent games at home but damn well knows all about stupid things like Fortnight and Five Nights at Freddy's. Getting a bit OT here but just saying that this madness has to stop. Its de-evolving the human brain.
A person shouldn't feel alone 90% of the time while sitting in a room with other people as this is going on continuously. In the Dr Office, In the grocery store, at work, at the school concert, before the movie, during the movie, the guy driving the big rig on the highway after the movie. Its sad!
Id like to see an academic comparison of kids in this age compared to kids at the same level in the pre-internet days in things like reading and writing.
I want a time machine. Iv never been there but the 70's look pretty cool about now!
