@daudazai Also, what’s the source for these statistics??? This is the part that scares me (I’m 39 and have been using computers for at least a decade)> Seems that all you have to do these days to sway people in a certain direction is post a video. Doesn’t seem to matter to most ppl that the video is a self contained source without any references to external links, books, data. The sheep just assume it’s all correct, as long as the video looks slick, authoritative, and well produced.

Where on earth are they getting these “facts” and statistic? One of the major problems facing “millennials” (such a dorky term) is that they tend to believe everything they read/see but have no idea how to search for source material, evaluate stats or fact check. Makes for an excellent and very gullible consumer demographic. I seriously doubt that over 50% of the world’s population is under 30. If that’s the case, the majority are in poverty stricken 3rd world countries, not sitting behind a pc

@ijaap Exactly. It’s ALL business. None of it is designed to help us communicate. I’d say that about 90 percent of online communication is hostile and antisocial (unless it’s dating site). I’ve also noticed that people, in general, have no sense of historical continuity or shared experiences. Comedians used to be social satirists. Today, they don’t really exist b/c there are so few topics that a crowd could collectively acknowledge and find humorous.
