If you wanted another reason to feel despair for the future of America, then look no further Sup Forums. This is how they will conquer us, easily, while our children sit idly by the door, struggling to know what to do.

The future isn't going to be something cool like Blade Runner or Star Trek. It's not even 1984 or Brave New World. It's Wall-E. A future world of human lumps glued to screens, feeding on baby food and incapable (both physically and mentally) of excelling beyond their predicament since birth. All of them will be blissfully unaware of the reality that surrounds them, and our offspring will welcome this world with open arms.

Some excerpts I find particularly troubling:
>Around 2012 there was an abrupt shift in teen behaviors and emotional states within America
>Data clearly suggests these results for children born in America from 1995 on, the oldest of who became adolescents in the 2000's -- author denotes that this MUST be considered a separate generation from Millennials
>Millennials still show trappings of other generations before them and compared to the youngest generation aren't that far off from Gen Xers
>Demographics don't matter -- all teens from all backgrounds are impacted
>3 out of 4 teens in America have cell phones, the majority (by a wide margin) having iPhones
>Teens in this generation do not drink, do not date, do not have sex, and teen pregnancy rates have been dropping
>But rates of teen depression and suicide have been skyrocketing since 2011
>High school seniors in 2015 socialized less outdoors than 8th graders in 2009
>Average age to lose virginity in America has increased to spring of 11th grade, roughly 16-18 years old
>More American teens hold off getting driver's licenses until 18
>Over 20% decrease in teens with jobs
>Teens are performing worse at school
>Teens spend drastically more time in their bedrooms, alone, on a phone

Thanks

trying to guess which technology, which cultural shift will be the end of us is silly. preparing for it to happen and ensuring your loved ones arent trapped by it is the important part
you think smartphones are bad, just wait until its a wearable contact lens of sorts and you have no fucking clue where their attention is

>Teens spend drastically more time in their bedrooms, alone, on a phone
we did this in the 90s.
it was called "gameboy".

you definitely haven't used both if you think they're meaningfully similar in how they affect behavior

>take the ludd pill like varg

i wouldn't even mind but the internet isn't even fast in fact its getting slower, memes are less funny and society is boring.

2006 to about 2011/12 ish the internet was actually different because it was actually apart from the mainstream media and itself. these days the memes get FED INTO Sup Forums and are not funny unlike how it used to be (the other way around).

Nothing lasts forever but the internet is getting progressively worse since really its creation in various cycles and different sites.

one thing for certain is youtube and google in general have been dead since about 2008.

the thing is overregulation,slow speeds and just general deep state shittyness will kill all they aim for.

Same as all their adult references will be ruined by the illuminati porn ban.

they will not be able to sell a song "with make it feel like a vacay turn the bed into an ocean" with fifth harmony or similar because squiriting porn will be banned so the reference will go over their heads.

its a pretty good feel, the jews being power hungry and price gouging ruin their own plans by making their stuff obscure.

it doesn't matter how much effort you put into cuck propaganda, if your highest rated program ever in the uk was 200,000 viewers conservatively.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickelodeon_(UK_and_Ireland)#Highest_rated_episodes

that's the thing,they like to get in with movements labelling others out of touch but when it cuts the other way, o-boy.

Do you sleep?

>spends all his leisure time on Sup Forums and combing news/social media for things that conform to his beliefs
>kids and their smart phones!!!!!! they the devil!!!

>>More American teens hold off getting driver's licenses until 18
If you live in a big city having a car is just a hassle, I am 38 and still don't know how to drive, don't feel need to.

>If you live in a big city having a car is just a hassle, I am 38 and still don't know how to drive, don't feel need to.
Pathetic.

Many careers require a license. It's also about being independent and dependable: if shit goes down, you want someone who knows how to drive.

It's pathetic to not know how to drive at 38. Don't pretend it's about living in a city, I'm sure you are a "late bloomer" in most areas too.

There is a major difference mate. Sup Forums hearkens back to what the internet was in the 1990's. It's anonymous, there is no censorship, and people talk about a wide range of topics. Sup Forums is not social media. The current social stagnation of teenagers is not because of Sup Forums or other imageboards like it. Those teens are not on Sup Forums; they are wasting away on Facebook, snapchat, Instagram, and all those social media sites which provide nothing of value. They don't talk about hobbies, make connections, or ask meaningful questions about the world. They are stuck in a vacuum of imbecility and mediocrity because of the current culture of the internet. It's cancerous and quite frankly Sup Forums might be one of the last bastions of honest intellectual discussion left on the internet. God knows the kind of drivel that is Reddit and Facebook.

You niggers steal so many of my predictions and just expound upon them.

As is stated in the Bible, which does not have to be taken necessarily spiritually but allegorically, God created the Earth; not the internet or the screens we view the internet through. The internet could be seen as staring straight into Hell when you ignore the reality which surrounds you.

>They don't talk about hobbies, make connections, or ask meaningful questions about the world. They are stuck in a vacuum of imbecility and mediocrity because of the current culture of the internet.
Nice definition of Sup Forums

> It's cancerous and quite frankly Sup Forums might be one of the last bastions of honest intellectual discussion left on the internet.
How is your first week on Sup Forums going?

>I make connections and learn things on Sup Forums
aaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha

The internet is good. Social media isn't.

Thank you based Norbot

We got our holographics tablet and flying board.
It just ended up being smartphone and hoverboard.
It's always cooler in the movies.

My 11 and 12 year olds split wood, do yard work, make art, ride atvs, play sports and shoot guns. If you want to change the future breed offspring and then raise them right it's as simple as that.

whats the issue? less degeneracy

Being born in '95 and not getting a cell phone until high school, I can see the difference in my peers. While I try to catch myself and stay off my phone everyone around me is glued to theirs. Last night I went to a party with 20~ people and there was a solid 1 hour of everyone looking at their phone, not talking, and having music/tv on in the background. It's a weird feeling :/

>in b4 born in the wrong generation

Wrong. The internet plays into the natural insecurities people have. People want more and more to be someone they're not. The internet allows them to play out these fantasies if not on social media, then anonymously through sites or forums like Sup Forums. The internet may be used to order whatever technology or chemically-laden foods you want, just by a few clicks of a button. By such things, the internet sets the precedent for the admittance of merging man with machine, or "improving" one's natural biology by way of genetic manipulation.

It slowly isolates the vessel from the "self".

its all tied to iq anyway so who cares

At the same time the internet holds so much information, at the touch of your fingertips, from so many different sources.

nah nigger I am gonna make a change get your ass on this thread and help me. I will show you how we will beat the kikes. I'm sick of channers fucking bitching about how shitty things are BUT NOT DOING A GODDAMN THING TO CHANGE IT

Just do white sharia

>Teens in this generation do not drink
>and teen pregnancy rates have been dropping
>Average age to lose virginity in America has increased to spring of 11th grade, roughly 16-18 years old
To be fair, these are good things.

I wrote a book that is already being published. I am out here doing it everyday nigger. ffs suck if everyone on Sup Forums donated 10 dollars to a crowdfund I would start I would unleash hell on the kikes and their lackeys. I have an entire war plan ready

>Social media
Are we included?

Considering Sup Forums is completely anonymous, no.

OP has good insight into our direction of DEvolution, I would suggest that both Brave New World and 1984 are being used as the social engineers ' cookbook ' to bring about ((( Their ))) vision of utopia ( a few in control at the top ).
Brave New World - Revisited , Huxleys non-fiction review some years later is most eye opening. And it's online free to read.

who knows how to drive.

>Implying people can afford smartphones, tablets and internet connections after the hordes destroy the West

You can bag on this place all you want but I've been here for a year (inb4 newfag) and I've learnt so much about being responsible for my own actions and actually wanting to progress in life.

>I am 100% redpilled. I live with my father in a house

Not if they're all emotionally fucked in the head because they've spent to much time on the internet instead of interacting with people in real life..

>Teens are more connected and able to see through bullshit than ever before
>this is somehow a bad thing

>my life sucks but I'm a faggot so it's okay.

you realize thats like "Brave New world"?

Reminds me of the mouse utopia.
