It’s a lot, but when you’re making that kind of money, you have a lifestyle that’s proportionate and it doesn’t turn out to be that much sometimes. The way you get ahead is by living below your means, or just being really really rich.
@@whateve157 i mean yeah, if you spend more you save less money. that's just how it works. at no detriment to your job. Think of it as: 50k a year lets you live a 50k$ life and save 0$. the 400k allow you to live a 50k$ life and save 350k$ (ignoring tax for both, of course). If you have a lifestyle that's proportionate, that's completely on you, and at zero fault to your job.
"we aint out here talking about 6 figures, or even millions...we talking billions with a capital B..if you arent elon or the zuck dont bother hittin me up fam"
Can we just admire the love for detail here?: -Pointing at POV -> "manning" conversation like an iPad - lack of attention span - obsession with money-making (all the influencers consumed) - lack of social skills overall, to the point of no talking (always "talked to" by iPad) - addressing people by status-symbols ("You're a surgeon") instead of themselves - stiff stare with barely blinking
He has no need for feeble attempts at small talk. He is on a higher plane of intellect and understanding. Someone working a hare brained job such as a surgeon couldn’t possibly comprehend the complexities of being through the vision of iPad Kids
@TheRealMycanthrope The average Redditor would have explained how interns in tech companies are just slaves to the capital, paid in "hope" by dangling the proverbial carrot of future employment in front of them. While surgeons are basically overglorified butchers saving themselves the first step of actually killing their victi.... sorry, 'patients' before cutting into them.
I am betting it.. we are going to find some Jared foggle type stuff with mr beast. It’s a tale as old as time. Those who are around kids and make their money off of kids audiences usually have some weird shit going in the backgrounds.. happens all the time.. (maybe the victims are afraid to speak because Mr.beast has powerful connections??? More powerful than we can imagine.)
@@brandonsmith2299 Thats a great point, I mean I obviously HOPE thats not the case since I don’t wish for any kids to be a victim of stuff like that ..but unfortunately history has shown us there definitely seems to be an association between the two.
Oh my god dude this is too true. The jelly eyed stare, the absolute self interest, the inability to maintain a shared social context for more than 10 seconds, the constant private inner dialogue with their own agenda to the exclusion of whatever's happening in front of them, the constant devaluing of every piece of stimuli that enters their field of awareness.. please make it stop. Please.
Well... It's really hard. I don't know whether it's ADHD or I just accidentally ruined my social skills. You can say I'm an ipad kid, but my ipad is coding. Like, it's not only about the attention span or some stupid videos. Nowadays you have unlimited access to any material you need on any topic you like. And some people just spiral down in their things since you don't even need to interact with others to learn. I know many such people and I don't think it will be better any time soon. Like... I have been into IT since I was 10, constantly surrounding myself with people that have similar interests. And now it's just impossible to hold a conversation with other people. The problem is that you can just shut yourself in a bubble and then all other aspects of life become completely unreachable
@@hshsgdgggeIn my experience with my family its completely a losing battle because they genuinely don’t think they are doing anything wrong, also some ipad kids do have things like adhd (which my ipad kid nephew was) so then the parents think the ‘ipad kid-ness’ lacking social skills, poor speaking skills, tantrums etc is soley because of the adhd which is NOT true. I have friends who have adhd some who I have known since childhood and sure they may have had issues keeping track/paying attention to things and being jumpy or high energy etc but they never once displayed this insane lack of speech, social skills and extreme emotional disregulation that ipad kids are showing. I know ppl have been calling this issue a ‘moral panic’ and something that every generation does but i’m only 23 and even I notice a shocking difference between how I was as a kid and how they behave now, its extremely sad to witness in real time, especially in the case of my family members who are ipad kids
I agree. I am not an iPad kid, but as an adult who is definitely impaired due to a childhood and young adulthood of parental abuse and negligence, it pisses me off when I see people mock adults who are clearly the result of severe (as in developmentally impairing) abuse and trauma. Not saying this video in particular pisses me off, but the amount of people who think parents can do no wrong and that abused children just magically turn into functional adults once they hit 18 or so is infuriating.
TBF, most people that we make fun of were failed by their parents. Not that there isn't a good amount of personal responsibility involved in a shitty personality, but often when someone is REALLY bad, it comes down to the way they were raised.
My hand surgeon works 2 days a week in office and does 2 days of surgery. Hes an absolute genius and in his 60s but his protege is only about 40 and has the same schedule. I feel like it heavily depends on if you work for a hospital or not.
My friend’s little cousin is an iPad kid whose parents would show him Peppa Pig all the time and he started constantly talking in a British accent (we are American)
I knew this kid in high school who had a heavy American accent and I'm pretty sure his parents were Australian. I don't think he lived in America either I think he just got too much screen time. But hey, at least he's not an iPad kid, he actually had social skills even if he was a bit annoying.
Did disney and universal last year. The ipad kids stuck out from the regular kids like a sore thumb. Yoo can imagine at places like universal and disney how excited regular kids are, massive smiles, cant waitnfor the next ride, soaking upnthe theming and atmosphere. Ipad kids, are literally getting their phone out to watch tiktok the moment the safety bar goes up and as a result are almost tripping over whilst getting off the ride. They then walk about with this guys dead-face expression, slowly and walking into people. I also notice they hold the screen just a couple of inches in front of their eyes so i dont think they can fully see what they are watching, i think its just a comfort thing to see the colours and hear the sound.
@@stanbrule9357 It's insane how many people I see on social media anymore self-describe themselves as "Disney Adults". SlappableJerk needs to do a skit on them, they're their own breed of insufferable.
See I don't get that because we (almost) did that as a kid with our gameboys and other basic tech stuff as a kid, watched hours of tv etc. So why is the whole ipad kid thing such a zombiefied thing rather than what we were back in the 90s? We also had books that if you wanted to get lost in you could very easily do that.
Honestly, this all seems realistic with the exception of him actually getting accepted into a university. I have seen a lot of teachers lament how exceptionally... uneducated (to put it nicely) iPad kids are. That nonexistent attention span and lack of social skills puts them grades below where they're supposed to be (yet apparently they just keep getting free passes); I feel as though there's no way they would get into a university. That aside, as someone with a computer science degree, if this kid were to somehow graduate, he would be in for a very rude awakening if he thinks 400k is low.
The thing is, I feel like if Universities keep the standards high, NO ONE will be accepted into college. Unfortunately I think they’re going to drop the bar so low that everyone can get accepted so that they can still make money and function/run. (sorry if this made zero sense i’m on cold medicine LOL)
@@sir_fapalotwell it’s a good way to start warning people against giving their children unlimited screen time or fobbing them off with the iPad every time they act like a normal child. This shit is unhealthy and it needs to stop.
Id be impressed if iPad kid could keep up the responsibilities at McDonald's to be honest. Edit to add: I've adressed this a few times but people seem to be flying on their feeling and ya know not reading. Skit was about iPad kid thinking he had the responsibility and qualifications to be a surgeon and abandoning the idea because its 'low pay'. At no point I've said McDonald's is easy work only that the entry qualifications and responsibilities most people can meet- as is shown by 1 in 8 Americans having worked there. Ive seen it from Gen Z already saying that if they really hard up to get a job that they will go to McDonald's- not realizing even a common entry level position like this is beyond them and most likely unwilling to hire them/will fire them in a week because of how they act. My only point is how would iPad kid handle being a surgeon when he couldn't handle working at McDonald's. If you are still reading this like I'm down on McDonald's workers and not iPad kid then you got some issues to work through my friends.
My first job was at McDonald’s when I finished 8th grade and it was actually one of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever had lol. We were the busiest one in my city and would be in a rush for at least 8 hours a day. you have to deal with people constantly shitting on you when you’re literally trying your best to serve them while maintaining your professionalism. On top of that I’m almost certain the gm was a narcissist and she got off on yelling at you for any minor mess up but she ran that place like the military. There wasn’t a day that would go by where you didn’t get chewed out by someone. Yeah but that job was hard and I hated it.
It'll be difficult to stick to this resolution. There will be many times you'll probably be tempted to get them more quiet and distracted in public places (by any means), the times when you're at your most exhausted. But I applaud your intention, and I hope you're able to stick to it!
@@Semudara I still remember losing a lego piece on a transatlantic flight when I was five; one of those smooth sloped 1x1s, transparent blue from a fire truck set (it was for a light or something on the outrigger). It was very sad, I couldn't even find it at the end of the flight.
@@Universal_CraftsmanBeing a parent is a responsibility, no matter how hard it is I think we shouldn't just "give in" to what kids want because that's teaching them wrong things,, and I know it's definitely easier said than done but still 😭 maybe they should try distracting them with something else, like toys, or go out with them somewhere or whatever..... I think what I'm saying is a little biased since I'm not a parent, I'm sorry for that 😅 I'm really trying to understand
When I was doing a coding bootcamp I had a roommate like this. He never did any of the assignments, I’m sure his parents paid for him to be there and he was unsupervised so he didn’t care. The guy just watched Rick and Morty or played Robloks the entire time he was there.
@@kylezo if you can do that, more power to them. Unfortunately, this guy was not doing his work at all. He left without passing. Hopefully he was able to work back for the certification, the camp I went to was willing to work with applicants that didn’t pass in the allotted time and provide some remote support so that they could eventually pass.
Lol the iPod. Nepotism would be if he offered him the surgeon job at his practice. Networking is when the friend is looking for interns and this guy refers you.

I know it’s not explicitly brought up, but this captures the feeling of “ADHD-like” symptoms in a person who doesn’t actually have ADHD really well. Here me out: So people with actual ADHD often try very hard to focus on the conversation and want to be engaged. But they either get distracted by something in their head (maybe a runaway thought or get caught up on a word someone said) or some outer force but they usually try to get back into the conversation by focusing really hard and even pretending they were engaged the entire time to not look rude or absent minded. This is very common behavior and why some interactions can be very draining for people with ADHD. But with this “kid”, he simply has no interest and doesn’t tolerate anything not mentally stimulating to him in the moment. It’s not for a wanting to try but being unable to. He just never developed the social skills to know or care about engaging in a real conversation. I think that actually shows a huge difference between the two concepts of ADHD vs. “ADHD-like” because I often hear about apps like TikTok and Instagram is “giving people ADHD” when in actuality it’s just making it way more difficult for people to be invested in things not overly stimulating to their brains in the moment.
You can in essence develop ADHD if you grew up like this, and to a degree improve upon it by distancing yourself from digital stimuli. It never fully goes away though. Childhood is outrageously powerful and somewhat from boomers but especially from Gen X and onwards, parents have adopted the idea that "Ahh fuck it he won't remember when he's older." Well yeah, mom and dad, I don't remember ANYTHING important from before the age of 11 except what I used to watch online and what games I played and to be addicted to "the website" so you're sort of right. Fucks up kids to get that kind of screentime from an early age.
rates of adhd have known to increase with underage screen time. It literally is ADHD, just to the extreme with other bits of unresolved mental illness poking through.
I'm technically still a CS major. I did drop out years ago and only more recently have gone back to school and oh boy. It's like I'm a time traveler. So much has changed in just a few years and I'm sort of scared of talking to the other CS majors since a decent amount of them are a lot younger than me. They are still very young and have not experienced life but at the same time I really wonder if being a CS major is worth it. It's just all just scary because I'd imagine that a lot of them are not expecting to be very easily laid off their work and still have to pay student loans and stuff and going months on end while trying to look for another full time job. Just very scary stuff.
Yeah 2 years of experience here, pretty hard to find a job unless you're a senior and even then, the interview process is busted. If I were to go back, probs would've done civil or electrical engineering
Ive heard a lot of folks in my IT crew lamenting about the market recently, whatever happened to to it? Bacj in the late ‘10s I was told that CS was a really solid degree. I went into botany cuz I love plants but whatever happened to h market? I’m really sorry to hear about it though, I hope you’re able to find something.
@@PsychoticAnarchist69 It really goes in waves...unfortunately companies still aren't very good at figuring out how to find good developers so even at its best you end up with he first contact consisting of recruiters asking you if you know a long string of technologies and checking them off on a list, oblivious to which technologies might be similar to other things you know or the fact that it's literally our job to figure out things we don't know. I'm in Italy, but for example here I had no trouble finding a second job after very little experience two years ago, but now I've spent several months off-and-on searching for a new place and only now am I _almost_ hired. Three interviews down, one to go (which is likely mostly a formality). Sure, I'm being pickier this time and am no longer in the entry-level market, but it's still been more challenging than I'd hoped. A year ago I also tried finding a new job, but sort of gave up after a while because I didn't see anything inspiring (and also we had some new colleagues join my team whom I really liked). But again, tech hiring seems to be dictated by trends; when FAANG is hiring, so does everyone else. Then they realise half the people they hired kinda suck and also they don't actually have that much work to do so the layoffs start.
i like how its the kids' problem, not their parents who just handed them technological crack and then go all surprised pikachu face when they get just as addicted to the ipad as the parents are to their phones
Holy shit is this scary accurate.. We are very concerned for my nephew (he’s 9) He behaves exactly like this, not to mention all of the insane tantrums etc. But WTF is with this weird obsession with adults money?? The last time we visited he explained to us how he can’t wait for his Grandma to die and that he should inherit more money from her than I will when she passes (keep in mind Grandma was beside us IN THE GODDAMN ROOM when he said this like i was floored he would say something like that at all let alone in front of her) And in the same conversation my grandma asked him when he grows up maybe he will be a doctor or lawyer like all Gma’s do and he flat out said if he was a lawyer he would just do it to wrongfully put his clients behind bars and ‘steal all their money’ to be rich.. which I obviously explained to him thats not how it works but he wasn’t having any of it. I mean …wishing you will grow up and be rich is nothing new for kids but he comes from a very privileged middle class household (i mean he already has like hundreds of thousands in a trust fund if he ever makes it to college but in his words he is going to drop out of hs at 16 to be a youtuber like mr beast anyways) I mean i’m only in my early 20’s and despite having exposure to technology and phones at an earlier age even my generation had shockingly better functioning and skills than these ipad kids do, I know not every kid his age behaves like him but for the ones that do its very disheartening to see how bad things are despite being so young.
He's been raised by the algorithm to prioritize material possessions and to have utter disregard for human life. "I'm gonna be Mr. Beast" tells you all you need to know. Gen Z and Alpha are aspiring to be millionaire CZcams celebrities the same way Boomers and Gen X all bought guitars and tried to be rock stars.... Except being a clout-chasing CZcams twink is way more spergy and uncool. At least with the rock star thing you're getting together in a garage with the boys and trying to make some music.

“How much do you make” isn’t a personal question. That’s corporate propaganda. Talk about your salary especially to people with similar jobs cuz you might just be getting screwed
@@yeetusyourmeetus it's only personal if you want to maintain false consciousness and stifle class solidarity. this needs to be openly discussed or we're all screwing each other and deluding ourselves.

But idk im still figuring all this out im in my 20’s so i could be wrong.
It only becomes corporate propagand rather than a personal question when it's about someone who works at the same company/similar field to you. Yes we should de-stigmatise discussing salaries with co-workers in order to gain a better understanding of the job market we are in and to ensure we are not getting ripped off in our current position, but if i was a surgeon and some braindead ipad kid cs major came up to me, pointed at my chest and dully asked me how much i made, i would probably be offended because its none of his business as he doesnt have any apparent interest in the profession and just wants money. If he really wants to know generally how much a surgeon makes (perhaps to make a legitimate informed decision on whether or not to go to med school) he can google it instead of jabbing a finger at me
we're gonna have kids with their eyes constantly running around in a desperate attempt to get that sweet little rush of dopamine from looking at their favorite anime and playing subway surfer at the same time.
unironically, I'm not even just being a doomer or speculating, in our lifetime VR will become so affordable, convenient, and indistinguishable from reality to the point where people would rather be in that virtual world than be in real life. iPad kids and people addicted to phones are already a problem, but when VR becomes this affordable and advanced in a couple decades, the addiction is going to get 50x worse and I firmly believe this will happen.

Parents moved us out into the middle of nowhere in elementary school where I couldn't walk to a friend's, parents refused to take me or my siblings to see friends except for special occasions, parents never wanted to actually talk to us or have a conversation, just whether our grades were good or not or to tell us to do something. And then they have the audacity to wonder why we ended up having no friends growing up and played videogames all day. I didn't even used to play games all that much while I still had a decent social life living in town, but after we moved it really was the only thing keeping me somewhat grounded.

Honestly the thing that annoyed me more than the iPad kid is a dude making $400k a year acting like revealing his salary is an offensive concept. Idk maybe I’m fucked up.

It only benefits owners so employees can’t bargain for higher pay knowing what others are taking home.

Honestly I don’t think it’s gonna be that bad, people grow up, people realize that something is wrong. I am very early gen alpha (2010) and I was raised without devices in my face 24/7, and was mostly focused on studying when I was young. I have watched an entire generation grow from iPad kids to kind, sensible people. Maybe it’s just the culture in my town, most people have either Indian or Chinese heritage, but at the end of the day, people learn, parents learn. Edit: also how tf did a CS major reject a job, that hurt my soul and I don’t have to worry about that stuff yet
Yes!! While I understand the overall sentiment of the commenters, it's never that bad or at least not in the way people think. I agree neglecting your kids 24/7 is concerning and has consequences lol, but trauma (and lesser things too) while it shapes who you are, it's often not in a predictable way. It's fun to pretend everyone 10 years from now will act exactly like this guy, that's why it's satire! To actually think that is unrealistic imo. It's like saying everyone who watched misogynistic content on TV as a kid will grow up to be a misogynist into their 30s. They might but they can also be better and grow!!
OP (clearly not a teen) is literally making up a guy to get mad at. Idk, seems uncharitable at best (saying this as a 29yo who remembers being a despondent teen at family gatherings and is now good at them) I’m cynical about the effects of screens as much as anyone but I also think it’s important to stay humble in what we assume about the inner lives of others
I am surprised he actually PAID ATTENTION even thought their attention span is almost completely destroyed..and sadly its not only gen alpha who suffers from this
Shit dude, I've met Gen Xers and Boomers with almost zero attention span as well. I'm not entirely convinced that modern technology is the issue, so much as a mildly exacerbating factor.
@@madjack58it's a multitude of factors. For boomers and gen X, it's a shriveled sense of empathy, shown in detail by their "screw you I got mine" attitude. Millienials and gen Z, it's the constant multitasking required of every non-corporate job( as for the corporate jobs apply the shrivelled empathy problem.). Gen Alpha has abusive levels of screen time.
My cousin is kind of like this and I def remember him with the iPad growing up. He always has his emotional support girlfriend at family functions and she’s a lot more outgoing 😂
I actually have a lot of pity for this character (and for kids raised by iPad in general). I don't think we'll find this is what they will be like when they grow up. I suspect they will largely reject their upbringing.
The year is 2077, people have medical implants in their brain to always have subway surfer, minecraft parkour, and GTA races constantly playing in the lower half of their vision, human conversation is impossible because everyone is constantly listening to music on their AirPods, and Tottenham Hotspur still haven’t won a trophy
Just cold turkey quit devices for a couple weeks. If you're honestly this addicted, you need to reset you're brain. Get a flip phone temporarily if needed
Change is always possible, you just have to be willing and determined, not just feeling like: "oh, I don't like who I am". There's always time because it isn't set by a time limit, it's set by when you're ready!
The problem for me (theoretical problem for once these kids become adults) is how much of this is their parents faults and how much of this is their own faults. Obviously the parents are the ones putting the screens in front of them but once your an adult you have to take responsibility for your problems.
@@Thumb_antivaxxers tend to fall into the same scope as people who realize how bad screen time can be. Both of these perspectives are in the current conservative narrative.
I felt like fighting the air after experiencing a skit of people like these, i hope i never have to go through it again irl. Also are you a psychology major?
Having an ipad in moderation is fine, my son had cancer as a child and he would be wired up to iv chemotherapy for hours at a time, we would listen to educational videos like phonics, spellings, animals etc and because i put in the hard work with him he could read and write at 2 years old. Its when kids are left all day and night unmonitored when it becomes an issue.
Im disabled and was raised to socialize via MMOs and games and chat forums. We have more skills as millenials than these kids do bc parents are failing them. But its probably worth considering how tragically dystopian it is that most of the parents time for an ipad kid goes into affording to care for them due to badly paying jobs. Thus problem could be stopped if communal raising wasnt so fucking frowned upon imo. I remember seeing a kid like this. He was so, so bright. I wanted to tell him about lots of cool stuff id have enjoyed at his age, but all he cared about was Roblox on his iPad. It probably isnt the same as the prev gen complaining about tv and music cuz at least with tv they had to force commercials to have industry standards. Content creation has no such guidelines rly. And kids are absorbing all of it... God, i hope theyll deprogram eventually. It feels like a cult.

Can we just admire the love for detail here?:
-Pointing at POV -> "manning" conversation like an iPad
- lack of attention span
- obsession with money-making (all the influencers consumed)
- lack of social skills overall, to the point of no talking (always "talked to" by iPad)
- addressing people by status-symbols ("You're a surgeon") instead of themselves
- stiff stare with barely blinking
Ironic “ Information Age” kids don’t know how to read, behave, reason, focus, or communicate. It’s so bizarre and horrifying.

Are you also a psychology nerd?? Love how you fleshed this out 😍
Money is good. I think they should focus on that.
This is how my 14 yr old stepson acts. Scary
He has no need for feeble attempts at small talk. He is on a higher plane of intellect and understanding. Someone working a hare brained job such as a surgeon couldn’t possibly comprehend the complexities of being through the vision of iPad Kids

Well... It's really hard. I don't know whether it's ADHD or I just accidentally ruined my social skills. You can say I'm an ipad kid, but my ipad is coding. Like, it's not only about the attention span or some stupid videos. Nowadays you have unlimited access to any material you need on any topic you like. And some people just spiral down in their things since you don't even need to interact with others to learn. I know many such people and I don't think it will be better any time soon.
Like... I have been into IT since I was 10, constantly surrounding myself with people that have similar interests. And now it's just impossible to hold a conversation with other people. The problem is that you can just shut yourself in a bubble and then all other aspects of life become completely unreachable
The iPad kid in my family doesn't even talk this much. He says "I don't know" to every question. 😂
Same here lol
Have the other family members ever asked the iPad kids' parent(s) why they allow(ed) that?
My oldest lol. Literally answers any question you ask her with "idk"
Holy shit yes its either “I don’t know” or “I can’t remember/I forgot”
@@hshsgdgggeIn my experience with my family its completely a losing battle because they genuinely don’t think they are doing anything wrong, also some ipad kids do have things like adhd (which my ipad kid nephew was) so then the parents think the ‘ipad kid-ness’ lacking social skills, poor speaking skills, tantrums etc is soley because of the adhd which is NOT true. I have friends who have adhd some who I have known since childhood and sure they may have had issues keeping track/paying attention to things and being jumpy or high energy etc but they never once displayed this insane lack of speech, social skills and extreme emotional disregulation that ipad kids are showing. I know ppl have been calling this issue a ‘moral panic’ and something that every generation does but i’m only 23 and even I notice a shocking difference between how I was as a kid and how they behave now, its extremely sad to witness in real time, especially in the case of my family members who are ipad kids
We make fun of these people but it’s really just sad how much their parents failed them
If only people would call it for what it is, abuse and negligence.
I agree. I am not an iPad kid, but as an adult who is definitely impaired due to a childhood and young adulthood of parental abuse and negligence, it pisses me off when I see people mock adults who are clearly the result of severe (as in developmentally impairing) abuse and trauma.
Not saying this video in particular pisses me off, but the amount of people who think parents can do no wrong and that abused children just magically turn into functional adults once they hit 18 or so is infuriating.
@@linussutherland6624 im 29, left home at 16, and still have flash backs of certain times. Yet, its my fault for not getting enough sleep at night.
TBF, most people that we make fun of were failed by their parents. Not that there isn't a good amount of personal responsibility involved in a shitty personality, but often when someone is REALLY bad, it comes down to the way they were raised.
Did we really expect *millenials* to raise a functioning generation?
As a medical student, the most unrealistic part is that the surgeon is at the family function. They make good money but work crazy hours.
They put in notice 300 days in advance for 1 day off lol
Nearly my entire family is made up doctors, surgeons, and nurses, so family functions are usually about a random 50% attendance 😅
Im a doctor and i miss a lot family gathering bcs i have shift on holidays haha
My hand surgeon works 2 days a week in office and does 2 days of surgery. Hes an absolute genius and in his 60s but his protege is only about 40 and has the same schedule. I feel like it heavily depends on if you work for a hospital or not.
not ortho surgeons in private practice. hospitals are for cucks
My friend’s little cousin is an iPad kid whose parents would show him Peppa Pig all the time and he started constantly talking in a British accent (we are American)
Muahaha our numbers grow larger by the day
One of my cousins does that too wth 💀
He just has a ancetoral calling to return to the land of the british.
I knew this kid in high school who had a heavy American accent and I'm pretty sure his parents were Australian. I don't think he lived in America either I think he just got too much screen time. But hey, at least he's not an iPad kid, he actually had social skills even if he was a bit annoying.
Brits be colonizing even after being done.
Did disney and universal last year. The ipad kids stuck out from the regular kids like a sore thumb.
Yoo can imagine at places like universal and disney how excited regular kids are, massive smiles, cant waitnfor the next ride, soaking upnthe theming and atmosphere.
Ipad kids, are literally getting their phone out to watch tiktok the moment the safety bar goes up and as a result are almost tripping over whilst getting off the ride. They then walk about with this guys dead-face expression, slowly and walking into people. I also notice they hold the screen just a couple of inches in front of their eyes so i dont think they can fully see what they are watching, i think its just a comfort thing to see the colours and hear the sound.
At this point Disney World is less for the current generation of kids and more for their millennial Disney Adult parents

@@digiquo8143I get CZcams ads geared towards Disney adults
I don’t know what I did wrong but I gotta stop it
See I don't get that because we (almost) did that as a kid with our gameboys and other basic tech stuff as a kid, watched hours of tv etc. So why is the whole ipad kid thing such a zombiefied thing rather than what we were back in the 90s? We also had books that if you wanted to get lost in you could very easily do that.
Honestly I respect the surgeon guy for having patience and attempting to reach out to and connect with the other guy
His... family member
Honestly, this all seems realistic with the exception of him actually getting accepted into a university. I have seen a lot of teachers lament how exceptionally... uneducated (to put it nicely) iPad kids are. That nonexistent attention span and lack of social skills puts them grades below where they're supposed to be (yet apparently they just keep getting free passes); I feel as though there's no way they would get into a university.
That aside, as someone with a computer science degree, if this kid were to somehow graduate, he would be in for a very rude awakening if he thinks 400k is low.
anyone can join a community College , university was never mentioned here
The thing is, I feel like if Universities keep the standards high, NO ONE will be accepted into college. Unfortunately I think they’re going to drop the bar so low that everyone can get accepted so that they can still make money and function/run.
(sorry if this made zero sense i’m on cold medicine LOL)
Universities/colleges will lower their admission standards. They want customers, and companies want "college degrees".
No Child Left Behind was a mistake
They haven't had standards in decades other than "Got lots of money and no willto publicly say anything that we don't like?"

Nah iPad kids can't make eye contact. No social skills

Id be impressed if iPad kid could keep up the responsibilities at McDonald's to be honest.
Edit to add: I've adressed this a few times but people seem to be flying on their feeling and ya know not reading. Skit was about iPad kid thinking he had the responsibility and qualifications to be a surgeon and abandoning the idea because its 'low pay'. At no point I've said McDonald's is easy work only that the entry qualifications and responsibilities most people can meet- as is shown by 1 in 8 Americans having worked there. Ive seen it from Gen Z already saying that if they really hard up to get a job that they will go to McDonald's- not realizing even a common entry level position like this is beyond them and most likely unwilling to hire them/will fire them in a week because of how they act. My only point is how would iPad kid handle being a surgeon when he couldn't handle working at McDonald's. If you are still reading this like I'm down on McDonald's workers and not iPad kid then you got some issues to work through my friends.
He definitely is not qualified for McDonald’s
My first job was at McDonald’s when I finished 8th grade and it was actually one of the most challenging jobs I’ve ever had lol. We were the busiest one in my city and would be in a rush for at least 8 hours a day. you have to deal with people constantly shitting on you when you’re literally trying your best to serve them while maintaining your professionalism. On top of that I’m almost certain the gm was a narcissist and she got off on yelling at you for any minor mess up but she ran that place like the military. There wasn’t a day that would go by where you didn’t get chewed out by someone. Yeah but that job was hard and I hated it.
I don’t know if the average person can handle working at McD’s long term, I know ex-soldiers with more trauma from McDonald’s than war.

If I have children, I'm not letting them use an iPad until they're in high school. They're gonna play with legos like I did as a kid.
It'll be difficult to stick to this resolution. There will be many times you'll probably be tempted to get them more quiet and distracted in public places (by any means), the times when you're at your most exhausted. But I applaud your intention, and I hope you're able to stick to it!
Kids are monsters, they will grind you down, drive you insane, until you give in and give them iPads.
I have an 18 month old and he does not use iPads. It’s very doable.
@@Semudara I still remember losing a lego piece on a transatlantic flight when I was five; one of those smooth sloped 1x1s, transparent blue from a fire truck set (it was for a light or something on the outrigger). It was very sad, I couldn't even find it at the end of the flight.
@@Universal_CraftsmanBeing a parent is a responsibility, no matter how hard it is I think we shouldn't just "give in" to what kids want because that's teaching them wrong things,, and I know it's definitely easier said than done but still 😭 maybe they should try distracting them with something else, like toys, or go out with them somewhere or whatever..... I think what I'm saying is a little biased since I'm not a parent, I'm sorry for that 😅 I'm really trying to understand
When I was doing a coding bootcamp I had a roommate like this. He never did any of the assignments, I’m sure his parents paid for him to be there and he was unsupervised so he didn’t care. The guy just watched Rick and Morty or played Robloks the entire time he was there.
I know someone like this went to school with him for cyber security and he still ask how I got a job. 😂

@@kylezo if you can do that, more power to them. Unfortunately, this guy was not doing his work at all. He left without passing.

The iPod could get into college, damn, and he was about to get a nepotism hire and he just blew it, damn man.

I know it’s not explicitly brought up, but this captures the feeling of “ADHD-like” symptoms in a person who doesn’t actually have ADHD really well. Here me out:
So people with actual ADHD often try very hard to focus on the conversation and want to be engaged. But they either get distracted by something in their head (maybe a runaway thought or get caught up on a word someone said) or some outer force but they usually try to get back into the conversation by focusing really hard and even pretending they were engaged the entire time to not look rude or absent minded. This is very common behavior and why some interactions can be very draining for people with ADHD.
But with this “kid”, he simply has no interest and doesn’t tolerate anything not mentally stimulating to him in the moment. It’s not for a wanting to try but being unable to. He just never developed the social skills to know or care about engaging in a real conversation.
I think that actually shows a huge difference between the two concepts of ADHD vs. “ADHD-like” because I often hear about apps like TikTok and Instagram is “giving people ADHD” when in actuality it’s just making it way more difficult for people to be invested in things not overly stimulating to their brains in the moment.
Good god THANK YOU for finally explaining this in a way that makes sense
I say this aswell but I get called names by everyone 😢
You can in essence develop ADHD if you grew up like this, and to a degree improve upon it by distancing yourself from digital stimuli. It never fully goes away though. Childhood is outrageously powerful and somewhat from boomers but especially from Gen X and onwards, parents have adopted the idea that "Ahh fuck it he won't remember when he's older."
Well yeah, mom and dad, I don't remember ANYTHING important from before the age of 11 except what I used to watch online and what games I played and to be addicted to "the website" so you're sort of right. Fucks up kids to get that kind of screentime from an early age.
rates of adhd have known to increase with underage screen time. It literally is ADHD, just to the extreme with other bits of unresolved mental illness poking through.
No, the differences that some people are self-aware and some are not
As a CS major when he ignored the internship I felt so much pain. The market is so bad rn
I'm technically still a CS major. I did drop out years ago and only more recently have gone back to school and oh boy. It's like I'm a time traveler. So much has changed in just a few years and I'm sort of scared of talking to the other CS majors since a decent amount of them are a lot younger than me. They are still very young and have not experienced life but at the same time I really wonder if being a CS major is worth it.
It's just all just scary because I'd imagine that a lot of them are not expecting to be very easily laid off their work and still have to pay student loans and stuff and going months on end while trying to look for another full time job.
Just very scary stuff.
Yeah 2 years of experience here, pretty hard to find a job unless you're a senior and even then, the interview process is busted. If I were to go back, probs would've done civil or electrical engineering
Hehe Boi
Ive heard a lot of folks in my IT crew lamenting about the market recently, whatever happened to to it? Bacj in the late ‘10s I was told that CS was a really solid degree. I went into botany cuz I love plants but whatever happened to h market? I’m really sorry to hear about it though, I hope you’re able to find something.
@@PsychoticAnarchist69 It really goes in waves...unfortunately companies still aren't very good at figuring out how to find good developers so even at its best you end up with he first contact consisting of recruiters asking you if you know a long string of technologies and checking them off on a list, oblivious to which technologies might be similar to other things you know or the fact that it's literally our job to figure out things we don't know. I'm in Italy, but for example here I had no trouble finding a second job after very little experience two years ago, but now I've spent several months off-and-on searching for a new place and only now am I _almost_ hired. Three interviews down, one to go (which is likely mostly a formality). Sure, I'm being pickier this time and am no longer in the entry-level market, but it's still been more challenging than I'd hoped. A year ago I also tried finding a new job, but sort of gave up after a while because I didn't see anything inspiring (and also we had some new colleagues join my team whom I really liked).
But again, tech hiring seems to be dictated by trends; when FAANG is hiring, so does everyone else. Then they realise half the people they hired kinda suck and also they don't actually have that much work to do so the layoffs start.
i like how its the kids' problem, not their parents who just handed them technological crack and then go all surprised pikachu face when they get just as addicted to the ipad as the parents are to their phones
Oh 100%, whenever I see iPad kids, their parents are just as addicted to their phones. The family ends up not talking to each other at all.

I obviously explained to him thats not how it works but he wasn’t having any of it. I mean …wishing you will grow up and be rich is nothing new for kids but he comes from a very privileged middle class household (i mean he already has like hundreds of thousands in a trust fund if he ever makes it to college but in his words he is going to drop out of hs at 16 to be a youtuber like mr beast anyways) I mean i’m only in my early 20’s and despite having exposure to technology and phones at an earlier age even my generation had shockingly better functioning and skills than these ipad kids do, I know not every kid his age behaves like him but for the ones that do its very disheartening to see how bad things are despite being so young.

But idk im still figuring all this out im in my 20’s so i could be wrong.
You're right, but I interpreted the inappropriate part as going "oh is that it?" At a fuckin huge salary.
It only becomes corporate propagand rather than a personal question when it's about someone who works at the same company/similar field to you. Yes we should de-stigmatise discussing salaries with co-workers in order to gain a better understanding of the job market we are in and to ensure we are not getting ripped off in our current position, but if i was a surgeon and some braindead ipad kid cs major came up to me, pointed at my chest and dully asked me how much i made, i would probably be offended because its none of his business as he doesnt have any apparent interest in the profession and just wants money. If he really wants to know generally how much a surgeon makes (perhaps to make a legitimate informed decision on whether or not to go to med school) he can google it instead of jabbing a finger at me

No, not necessarily president, but you know they will be "working" at whatever dismal, poor quality nursing home in which we're sent to languish.
Hes almost like if an npc was the main character, or he was a self aware character in a game who doesn’t listen to npc dialogue
As a 22 year old whose parents left him in a room alone his whole childhood wifh nothing but electronics, this is pretty accurate. Lmao
It's disturbing how on point this is. I'm not even 30 yet & my nieces/nephews are already like this.
Fun fact $400,000 is the same amount as the US president makes annually aka it’s a lot of freakin money
Well yeah. You'd be paying more money in taxes alone than the average American makes in a year
Yeah but I thought he made more
This is in 15 years probably, so inflation hit a bit harder
It's absolutely a fantastic salary, about six times the USA's average of 60,000, but it should be mentioned that the President's salary isn't really reflective of what you'd expect from the power they wield. Now, obviously they have methods of using that power to make money (such as favouring countries one holds assets in, to use Trump as an example), but all in all, 400,000 a year is absolutely nothing compared to the truly rich.
@@budgetcommander4849 The idea is that the president's role should not be motivated by wealth. There are lots of people making more money in jobs that are much easier to acquire than the President, such as corporate lawyers, doctors/surgeons, bankers, etc.
I know other CS undergrads that are basically already like this lmao
Honestly the thing that annoyed me more than the iPad kid is a dude making $400k a year acting like revealing his salary is an offensive concept. Idk maybe I’m fucked up. But I feel like corporate culture has brainwashed us all into thinking we shouldn’t talk about it. It only benefits owners so employees can’t bargain for higher pay knowing what others are taking home.
I know this is meant to be an ipad kid but reminds me a lot of Beavis and Butt-head
If that show were made today the only difference is they'd be obsessed with tik tok instead of mtv
@@stanbrule9357 you're spot on, considering they actually did make a reboot in which Beavis and Butt-head watch music videos and now they watch tiktok videos too
It's like you can hear the skibidi toilet song playing in his head.
Honestly I don’t think it’s gonna be that bad, people grow up, people realize that something is wrong. I am very early gen alpha (2010) and I was raised without devices in my face 24/7, and was mostly focused on studying when I was young. I have watched an entire generation grow from iPad kids to kind, sensible people. Maybe it’s just the culture in my town, most people have either Indian or Chinese heritage, but at the end of the day, people learn, parents learn.
Edit: also how tf did a CS major reject a job, that hurt my soul and I don’t have to worry about that stuff yet
Your situation is different indeed, in most places gen alpha simply don't learn, parents are entitled and teachers are tired
Yes!! While I understand the overall sentiment of the commenters, it's never that bad or at least not in the way people think. I agree neglecting your kids 24/7 is concerning and has consequences lol, but trauma (and lesser things too) while it shapes who you are, it's often not in a predictable way. It's fun to pretend everyone 10 years from now will act exactly like this guy, that's why it's satire! To actually think that is unrealistic imo.
It's like saying everyone who watched misogynistic content on TV as a kid will grow up to be a misogynist into their 30s. They might but they can also be better and grow!!
Bless you
"how are things going" "you're a surgeon"
The surgeon should be more careful amongst the sigma rizzler, iPad kid.
For real he might get rizzed up by his gyat

These replies are melting my brain
My dentist asked me how college is going. I’m almost 28 years old.
Well, how is it going?
That’s a compliment, you look young then.
Yea but the fact that literally everyone is absent minded ruins the narrative that "kids these days" so it's best to not bring that up.
Just wait til the Apple Vision kids enter the equation
you're a great actor man. your characters look similar but feel completely different.
OP (clearly not a teen) is literally making up a guy to get mad at. Idk, seems uncharitable at best (saying this as a 29yo who remembers being a despondent teen at family gatherings and is now good at them)
I’m cynical about the effects of screens as much as anyone but I also think it’s important to stay humble in what we assume about the inner lives of others
I am surprised he actually PAID ATTENTION even thought their attention span is almost completely destroyed..and sadly its not only gen alpha who suffers from this
I was an adult when I got my first smartphone (if you consider 18 to be adult) and it still obliterated my attention span lol
Shit dude, I've met Gen Xers and Boomers with almost zero attention span as well. I'm not entirely convinced that modern technology is the issue, so much as a mildly exacerbating factor.
@@madjack58it's a multitude of factors. For boomers and gen X, it's a shriveled sense of empathy, shown in detail by their "screw you I got mine" attitude. Millienials and gen Z, it's the constant multitasking required of every non-corporate job( as for the corporate jobs apply the shrivelled empathy problem.). Gen Alpha has abusive levels of screen time.
Idk why but this is the one that hit the cringe reflex for me. You finally got me dude.
My cousin is kind of like this and I def remember him with the iPad growing up. He always has his emotional support girlfriend at family functions and she’s a lot more outgoing 😂
He’s definitely somewhat competent if he has a girlfriend
@@luked4996 Probably, but also he’s handsome so there’s that
@@jessicam3707the hell? He has a girlfriend? He did the impossible
@@raid--er4083 Yep. And they just bought a house - something I, someone 10 years older than him, may not do for another decade.
He's young enough that he can rehabilitate
I actually have a lot of pity for this character (and for kids raised by iPad in general). I don't think we'll find this is what they will be like when they grow up. I suspect they will largely reject their upbringing.
Once they finally break the ice enough to have a really deep conversation with someone, they'll get hooked on that and try to make up for lost time
I can assure you my sister's children will not be iPad kids. Because they own Android tablets, not iPads.
Wow huge difference
And that makes it less worse?
Not the replies not realizing this comment is a joke
@@a.t.9197 Then it's worst joke I've read in my life
@@a.t.9197 If that was supposed to be a joke, then it wasn’t funny at all
This one actually made me laugh instead of cringing so hard it hurt, thanks
How are you so good at all these characters?! Literally every single one of your videos is priceless haha love it
The year is 2077, people have medical implants in their brain to always have subway surfer, minecraft parkour, and GTA races constantly playing in the lower half of their vision, human conversation is impossible because everyone is constantly listening to music on their AirPods, and Tottenham Hotspur still haven’t won a trophy
As a stem major, seeing him not care about a possibility of getting a job hurt so bad
It's hard being a tablet kid, having a tablet at 5 years old really takes a toll on us.
I bet the out-takes of these videos are top quality.
It scares me how much I am like this :( and I feel like I can never change because I have been like this for so long...
just remeber to listen and actually care about what the person is saying
Just cold turkey quit devices for a couple weeks. If you're honestly this addicted, you need to reset you're brain. Get a flip phone temporarily if needed
May not have anything to do with devices, and could be mild Autism.
@@berkah6240 and/or ADHD, similar experience but I'm alot more social I just have trouble learning
Change is always possible, you just have to be willing and determined, not just feeling like: "oh, I don't like who I am". There's always time because it isn't set by a time limit, it's set by when you're ready!
Absolutely no functionality 😭😭😭😭😭 that poor fucking kid
The problem for me (theoretical problem for once these kids become adults) is how much of this is their parents faults and how much of this is their own faults. Obviously the parents are the ones putting the screens in front of them but once your an adult you have to take responsibility for your problems.
@@azathoththe3rd Yep, that’s what I mean. I can’t imagine the kind of person I’d be if I was raised by the internet
The adult speaking to him is way calmer than I wouldve handled it jesus
We need more of this character
The two main questions are how many years until the iPad kids show the world how stunted they became & What will their parents use as scapegoat?
I bet people will blame vaccines or something stupid
@@Thumb_antivaxxers tend to fall into the same scope as people who realize how bad screen time can be. Both of these perspectives are in the current conservative narrative.
I felt like fighting the air after experiencing a skit of people like these, i hope i never have to go through it again irl.
Also are you a psychology major?
The new scare, every gen's gotta have one
This surgeon had enough time to go to a family function, and was patient enough to endure the disrespect this kid was giving him? Doubt
Why is his name Jordan? I hate that I have to share a name with someone so diabolical
Tbh he seems like a Jordan. However my condolences for being associated with this man 😔
Sorry Jordan
Welcome to the club
See the problem is that as an autistic man, this is me. Except I’d be reading a book while we talk
Having an ipad in moderation is fine, my son had cancer as a child and he would be wired up to iv chemotherapy for hours at a time, we would listen to educational videos like phonics, spellings, animals etc and because i put in the hard work with him he could read and write at 2 years old. Its when kids are left all day and night unmonitored when it becomes an issue.
this dudes videos never fail to impress me 😂
Plot twist: current inflation is so ridiculous that $400,000 actually won't be a large salary by the time current iPad kids are grown up
Bruh this is the average compsci major.
Im disabled and was raised to socialize via MMOs and games and chat forums. We have more skills as millenials than these kids do bc parents are failing them. But its probably worth considering how tragically dystopian it is that most of the parents time for an ipad kid goes into affording to care for them due to badly paying jobs. Thus problem could be stopped if communal raising wasnt so fucking frowned upon imo.
I remember seeing a kid like this. He was so, so bright. I wanted to tell him about lots of cool stuff id have enjoyed at his age, but all he cared about was Roblox on his iPad.
It probably isnt the same as the prev gen complaining about tv and music cuz at least with tv they had to force commercials to have industry standards. Content creation has no such guidelines rly. And kids are absorbing all of it... God, i hope theyll deprogram eventually. It feels like a cult.
Actually, it doesn't seem so bad to cut the formalities and gibber gabber and get straight to the point.
“You know Jordan that’s kind of a personal question” made me crack up
This has encouraged me to put down my phone and talk with my family, thanks CZcams!
this is so on point...
"I am a Surgeon, Dr. Han" fits perfectly here
I thought that was the whole point of this video
I have been interacting with more and more 18 year old just entering the workplace who behave JUST like this. I have had difficulty describing them to others, but this is spot on
This guy is a master class of creating dialogue
this dude is one of two people I subscribe to. never disappoints
Who’s the other one?
Hollow! gaming youtuber, plays alot of horror and sets a vibe thats easy to have on while i eat @@itmightbe
What the other guy said. Who’s the other one.
We gotta know the other one
Who's the other one
The only difference between me and ipad kids is that I hade to rewatch the same movie a hundred times per year.
you had a portable dvd player?
VHS 📼
