Everyone In The Internet Is Doing Their Best To Grab Your Attention.

Hey guys,

listen to this nice TEDx Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C74amJRp730

It basically talks about how big companies literally hire experts that find the best ways for people to click on their products.


Here's a quote from Steve Jobs in an interview after releasing the Ipad when talking to a reporter:

“So, your kids must love the iPad?” I asked Mr. Jobs, trying to change the subject. The company’s first tablet was just hitting the shelves. “They haven’t used it,” he told me. “We limit how much technology our kids use at home.”

Bill Gates also heavily restricts his kids usage of technology. Chris Anderson, owner of TED, also limits his kids usage. Stating that he has seen the negatives of too much technology.


Does it keep going downhill from there? People today are being so heavily influenced by technology through the means of social media. It's killing socialization.

What do you guys feel will happen 10-20 years from now? Will the advancement of technology keep developing more and more socially dysfunctional kids?

Nietzsche: The same reasons that produce the increasing smallness of man drive the stronger and rarer individuals up to greatness.

The masses will be made more impulsive and weaker and more dysfunctional by the Internet, smartphones, social media, pornography, etc.
The exceptional ones who can master themselves and their impulses, will be able to benefit from those same technological advances.

However, I am really sad by how technology is ruining our generation and future generations. More and more socially dysfunctional kids, as you said. In 10-20 yrs I think there will be a lot more restrictions and education on the technology, though. Researchers have been paying a lot of attention. Like, for porn, I think UK is banning it. Five states in the US have passed resolutions to educate, prevent, change policy, research the "public health crisis" and "epidemic" of pornography.

But idk, I still think the advancing tech is gonna siphon the lives out of most people.
