People are too addicted to constant stimulation. They don't know how to be content in solitude and just doing nothing for a moment. Having their brains fried from parents putting these iPads and iPhones in front of their faces, loaded with apps that are designed to constantly getting their dopamine up and keep them stimulated so they'll ask for their parents credit card to pay for microtransactions, is part of the problem. These kids brains were ruined long ago.
I remember as a kid having to learn how to entertain myself. We didn't have a tv or electronic devices save for a computer downstairs we weren't allowed to use much, and if we ever complained we were bored our mother would say something like "Oh you're bored? Fantastic, come unload and reload the dishwasher!" I wasn't the smartest kid but eventually even I learned to stop complaining :D

The more bored you are the more interesting ways you find to be entertained. It's about building more varied skills to cope with boredom, obviously not just steep in it and sulk.
My niece is an iPad kid. I’m usually really good with kids but I can’t for the life of me get through a conversation with her. I feel so bad for her tbh.
If I were you, I'd get out of that profession as quickly as I could. It's one of the most uncertain jobs right now and antiquated educational methods are desperately trying to win the battle against the rapid advance of technology. There is literally no academic knowledge you can teach that's not freely available online to anyone who's interested. Teachers should be trained to identify people's affinities, build class communities and teach children how to actually learn things (a guide to the process of learning). Instead, most teachers are reciting 20-30 year old textbooks, ancient history and literature because that's what they were trained to do and that's all they are capable of doing. I'm 27 years old, and I sympathize with current students to some degree: nobody that young wants to be forced to sit down for 6-8 hours a day, forced to learn and recite stuff they will NEVER use, that's NOT even REMOTELY about them or their society, and something they are NOT interested in. This has ALWAYS been the case, in ALL generations; people just love to conveniently forget that. The "being unable to put the phone down or hold a conversation with another human being face-to-face" is another thing, but they only hold the blame for it partially: this is what they grew up with (and this is what influential figures [SEVERAL generations older than them] have set them up for). They had phones and tablets in their hands before they could even speak their first word, let alone talk to another human being, but most of us born in their time would have turned out the same way, maybe even you and me. This overdependence on digital and artificial content - for academic purposes, as well as emotional needs - is going to cause major generational issues which no one in history has ever witnessed before.
@@KainRazielMTteachers don't really lecture to classes that much anymore. And most schools don't use textbooks either. It's a lot of Chromebook work now
I’m almost 60 and I can relate to this, not the writing thing but the apathy. I just look around and wonder what the world has for anybody that age anymore. For the longest time I was convinced I could do anything I wanted as long as I worked at it. By the time I found out it wasn’t really quite that way, I had already done quite a bit, but it seems like nowadays the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Life seems more deterministic than ever before. The one hope I have is that kids realize how fucked everything is and it makes them see through the bullshit and stick with what’s real. Growing up in the 80s we got caught up in a lot of the bullshit.
me right now. my generation aligns with the nihilism, absurdism etc worldview. also not the writing thing but a lot of people are simply apathetic towards our world
As a teacher, my test retakes are optional. If the student doesn't want the opportunity to improve his/her grade. Its all on them to make their decision.
People are gonna start complaining about their children misbehaving when they slap them in front of an ipad and call it a day... it's like how some parents used videogames back in the day and that's how we got dudes who enter Hulk smash mode and break shit when they lose a game
I was an Ipad kid. I was not spoiled, condescending, and disrespectful as the sketch but I definitely spent most of my day on an Ipad in the age 7-15. Looking back it was really sad: instead of spending my youth playing, socializing and experimenting on what made me happy, what I enjoyed doing I just spent it staring an emotionless and sterile entertaining machine and I just... Didn't know any better. Parents, don't allow that.
I definitely had this issue as well. I still spend lots of time playing videogames but I am trying to get real life skills and enter the real world. It is sad that lots of kids will not only become iPad kids. But will be spoiled to the point that they think they are better than others and won't care about their own future.
Damn, I'm really sorry for your generation, that is horrible, but when I see that you are so self aware about it, it brings confidence that most kids will grow up to know better and be better to the future generations.
It brings me hope to see that you're able to recognize what happened and adjust your life accordingly. I imagine Gen X kids who were raised by the television instead of their parents had to face a similar reckoning.
I just feel bad for children who grow up like this, because I know inevitably that a lot of people in your generation will grow up and feel like this. Like they missed out on being a kid.
Funnily enough, back in year 11 I handed in my essay and the teacher called me up to the front as she couldn’t understand my writing. Bewildered, I had a look at it and realised that I too couldn’t read my own writing.
@Earlierfour its crazy cuz "english language arts" which is mostly just studying literature, should be the most stimulating, for lack of a better word, since at least for me, analyzing literature (mostly movies and video game plots) is really fun. It's just taught in such a garbage way so that you basically can't learn anything from the curriculum and it's a complete waste of time. Everything I know about literature I know from watching youtube videos, not the countless classes I've had about shakespeare and other mostly garbage books they make us read
I will say this til my dying day: handwriting is a life skill. Print vs cursive doesn't matter too much, as long as you can write quickly and legibly. Yes, technology means we can get away with not writing by hand as often, but needing to do so at times will never go away entirely. And I think there is value in doing it when you don't absolutely need to. Taking notes by hand in a class, for instance, helps you retain stuff in a way that typing them does not.
yeah I don't know how, but I feel that writing things down, and the effort it takes to shorten things and process them makes it easier to remember, while typing them is an almost mindless activity to me. (and yeah, it was a difference, once I went from a 97 to a 75 on two unit tests because I did all my notes and studying on my PC instead of paper)
I was in an online class recently, and felt a bit out of place. I was taking physical notes, after all, I signed up for this class, I want to have the information... yet I was the only one doing so. Everyone else was just staring blankly into the camera...
I hate how bad my handwriting is. No amount of practice made it better,and I've always had teachers who would give me shit about it,even when id explain to them what it said. One took ten or more points off of everything I did,even if it was legible to "encourage" me to do better. It just made me lost the motivation to do well in her class because anything I did would be called because she didn't feel like taking an extra minute to look at my paper. People don't generally have bad handwriting out of laziness or choice.
@@Ruby-re6ld Handwriting looks bad if you write fast. If you write slowly and ensure you are following through all your strokes correctly, your writing will look much better. Knowing when and where you need to write slow or if a quick note is all you need is a skill few people really have anymore.
I went to a commuter state school, where most students were working and supporting themselves already, and then went to a private school for my graduate degree where most of the undergrads lived on campus. The difference in how seriously they treated their education was stark.
@lavenderxxx1210 The kids like this aren't taking out loans and aren't paying for it themselves. It's the rich parents who can't be bothered to be involved in their kids' lives but feel guilty and pay for their college.
it is so deeply worrying to me how kids don't let themselves/arent allowed to get bored anymore, there's gonna be a future ahead where only very very few people are capable of being truly creative
it HORRIFIES me that kids who got an iPad shoved in their face or, alternatively, had spent most of their formative elementary years in school online bc of Covid may be on this trajectory - it's straight up sad 😭😭
Mhm, and what about the kids who spent all their times in the TV in the past? Or kids who only played with toys in the past? It’s not on the child. It’s on the parent.
@@qy9MC I had an IPad as a kid, though i got it a bit later in my childhood, i was about 8 years of age. It definitely didn't hurt me, i would say it saved me from getting in trouble as a kid, you know. We used to be the kind of boys to get into fights on a daily basis and watch martial arts movies all day.
I know this is a meme but I wanted to take the opportunity to say, if your writing is awful and no matter how hard you try you can't improve, look into dysgraphia, or being dysgraphic. My hand writing is awful and I never used a pc, laptop or tablet for education outside of subjects where a computer is needed. I practiced hand writing and had 1 to 1 sessions specifically to improve my hand writing. It never happened. I failed my English exams, and retook them in college. They gave me a word processor (a PC) to do the exam, and I ended up with a B.
Writing fast or writing at all? I understand this is a test so you're probably speedwriting, and it may be difficult for some people to have good (legible) handwriting when writing fast. My handwriting isn't the best, I understand. But writing slow? I dont want to believe there are people who have bad hand writing when writing slow. Simply writing at like a quarter of the speed nearly triples the quality of my hand writing Once again. Not useful for tests where you're under a time constraint. That I fully understand how someone could have handwriting 'not at their age level' completely understand. I'm questioning are they just as bad writing slowly
@@xanderlastname3281 Yes they can be bad writing at any speed. It can also relate to drawing and finding it exceptionally hard to draw at all. The thing is, if you have to write 1 letter every 30 seconds (only way my writing looks good), whats the point? If you really cannot believe this, google it and take a look at one of the many articles explaining what it is and why it exists. It's better than me trying to explain it in a youtube comment. You might not want to "believe there are people who have bad hand writing when writing slow", but it's literally a thing some people just cannot do, and at that point it's not "writing", you're drawing a letter so slowly that you'll get nothing done.
I read somewhere that medical schools are having trouble training surgeons because finger dexterity is legitimately a problem for the touchscreen generation. They grow up with video games that don't even have buttons, and they struggle teaching their hands to keep up with their brains.
I 100% believe that. I've also read that people are losing their penmanship skills and manual dexterity in general. Even millennials who learned to write in cursive in school, if they're not using it. We're not robots, we're flesh and blood and our abilities really do go away if we don't work those neurons and muscles.
Makes me wonder if there is going to be a social-class flip when it comes to those who are most excelling in school. When I look at kids in the local Headstart program (which is preschool generally for low income households) they seem to be doing alright. Plenty social enough, plenty interested in activities, none of them seem to be so bound up in electronics that they can't function. There is probably going to be a gap between them and the students from higher income families when they get to grade school, and it is going to favor them.
The income achievement gap is higher than its ever been. If you did something these commentors haven't done, and actually talked to average kids in high school, you'd see that there's not anything to crazy about them. Among wealthy children, there can be insane pressure to takes lots of AP classes and compete at a high level in extracurriculars, they aren't sitting around all day watching tv.
These are the same kids you see in comment sections that chronically respond "stop yapping" to any discussion longer than a sentence. Shit is kinda disturbing.
I grew up with a slew of issues both inherent and developed: autism, dysgraphia, anxiety, Sensory Integration Disorder, others. I'm simultaneously thankful and upset I was born mid 90s. Thankful because we were limited PS1/N64 and Game Boy level tech that had its limits and even then our parents were strict about its usage, and therefore happy I didn't have a screen shoved in my face since age 2. Upset because all these issues I had weren't as taken seriously by most adults and other kids: "oh you're just lazy/not trying/just stupid" and bawling my eyes out because I didn't want to believe them but secretly accepted that they were right. And it has taken ages just to get to where I am now and still learning to accept genuine compliments and I've made strides since those days. Seeing this makes me so worried because the alternatives to iPads are so bombastically numerous you could even still substitute them with other hand held tech like those of the early 00's. Art books, comic books, (so many book options), pretend play, exploring, and despite what alot of people think: boredom is actually totally healthy for some children and helps them develop their imagination. I genuinely hope people like this are in the minority and iPad access becomes restricted to young children because I just don't see an alternative. TL;DR there isn't a TL;DR because we'll be no better than Jordan here
I relate to your struggles of not having inherent issues taken seriously, and having issues of neurology shoved in your face like they were moral failings. It still happens to me sometimes.
This is already reality at schools, apparently some kids can only type. And then you have to set up an entire classroom with computers for the tests, only for them to type a paragraph each, get bored and give up. I wonder what we used to do before we had computers, how did we manage to write things down.
This is the first video I found of his that was entertaining rather than infuriating. He plays his role well, but it's nice to see him play a different role.
Even as someone that spends WAY too much time online, even I’m worried about the state of Gen Alpha and young Gen Z. I remember playing in the mud growing up, and playing with bugs. Yes. There was a lot of those “bored” moments, but I was able to make my own fun at the time. At the very least, I can sit with that boredom. Don’t set your kids up for failure.
YOU NEVER LIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💯 Taught 8th grade for 8 years AND THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IT WAS VERBATIM!!!!!!!!!!! 💀😪 "...it was really boring..." tf! 😂 ... and? idgaf! These iPad kids are something else!
What’s crazy though is the iPad kids _are_ actually college aged now. My brother who has had a device glued to his hand since birth is now 18 and will be going to college in the fall. I pity his poor professors. Like you kinda forget that these iPad “kids” are gonna grow up and not be kids anymore and the world is gonna have to deal with the repercussions of them knowing nothing about the world except *S C R E E N.*
Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus.[5] They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay but may also be produced in other ways. Due to the short range of absorption and inability to penetrate the outer layers of skin, alpha particles are not, in general, dangerous to life unless the source is ingested or inhaled.
Is it sad that I really think there will be a reality when kids won’t know how to handwrite? We already have grown adults that can’t read or write cursive and I’ve met people in their teens or 20’s who can’t read analog clocks so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the next progression.
Clocks like that are useful in times where knowing the hour and a rough idea of minutes is enough. But in a stressful situation like an exam where every minute counts it's rather annoying to not see the exact time. Hence military time.
I've actually been getting worse at quickly reading the time on analog clocks despite the fact that I grew up with them. It's crazy how lazy the brain is.
I feel bad for kids like this, because it really isn’t their fault, it’s the fault of the parents who didn’t bother being parent and just got something that will stop the kid from bothering them
I'm so distracted I'm reading the comments while putting this at 2x and combing hair and watching the video cracking my back and looking at the other videos in the recommended...
Accurate... 😢 I'm 16 and cannot even relate with my own generation. It's simply sad, especially considering that it tends to be worse the younger the people you observe. 😞 And I feel like this will just become worse every year for at least a century...
“Im worried im going to be bored” is such a brilliant line that gets lost amidst the humour of it all but it’s so fundamental for what it means to be an ‘iPad kid’
At my school in Germany, we are allowed to use IPads in what would kind of equal high school (Oberstufe). We are all writing with a pencil still. The thing with having a typed text is that teachers instantly grow suspense of it being just copy paste from chat gpt. I honestly don't use Chat gpt for my work, but many do. I think that could be the next step. This guy just asking if he can attend the test with Chat gpt
This is why I hate seeing schools going "100% digital". I saw an American school that banned pencils, paper, and physical textbooks in favour of computers and, this is gonna ruin the children.

The "being unable to put the phone down or hold a conversation with another human being face-to-face" is another thing, but they only hold the blame for it partially: this is what they grew up with (and this is what influential figures [SEVERAL generations older than them] have set them up for). They had phones and tablets in their hands before they could even speak their first word, let alone talk to another human being, but most of us born in their time would have turned out the same way, maybe even you and me.
This overdependence on digital and artificial content - for academic purposes, as well as emotional needs - is going to cause major generational issues which no one in history has ever witnessed before.
@@KainRazielMTteachers don't really lecture to classes that much anymore. And most schools don't use textbooks either. It's a lot of Chromebook work now
The shrug is so painfully accurate 🤷
I’m almost 60 and I can relate to this, not the writing thing but the apathy. I just look around and wonder what the world has for anybody that age anymore. For the longest time I was convinced I could do anything I wanted as long as I worked at it. By the time I found out it wasn’t really quite that way, I had already done quite a bit, but it seems like nowadays the proverbial cat is out of the bag. Life seems more deterministic than ever before. The one hope I have is that kids realize how fucked everything is and it makes them see through the bullshit and stick with what’s real. Growing up in the 80s we got caught up in a lot of the bullshit.
Yeah... deterministic lives suck
Yeah. I feel this way too.
me right now. my generation aligns with the nihilism, absurdism etc worldview. also not the writing thing but a lot of people are simply apathetic towards our world
"Okay then, you get a 0"
"I am the mother this kid and he did nothing wrong! It's your fault as a teacher to fail him!"
The lack of social awareness when pulling out the phone in the middle of a conversation is so accurate lmao
As a teacher, my test retakes are optional. If the student doesn't want the opportunity to improve his/her grade. Its all on them to make their decision.
People are gonna start complaining about their children misbehaving when they slap them in front of an ipad and call it a day... it's like how some parents used videogames back in the day and that's how we got dudes who enter Hulk smash mode and break shit when they lose a game
I was an Ipad kid. I was not spoiled, condescending, and disrespectful as the sketch but I definitely spent most of my day on an Ipad in the age 7-15. Looking back it was really sad: instead of spending my youth playing, socializing and experimenting on what made me happy, what I enjoyed doing I just spent it staring an emotionless and sterile entertaining machine and I just... Didn't know any better. Parents, don't allow that.
I definitely had this issue as well. I still spend lots of time playing videogames but I am trying to get real life skills and enter the real world. It is sad that lots of kids will not only become iPad kids. But will be spoiled to the point that they think they are better than others and won't care about their own future.
Damn, I'm really sorry for your generation, that is horrible, but when I see that you are so self aware about it, it brings confidence that most kids will grow up to know better and be better to the future generations.
It brings me hope to see that you're able to recognize what happened and adjust your life accordingly. I imagine Gen X kids who were raised by the television instead of their parents had to face a similar reckoning.
I just feel bad for children who grow up like this, because I know inevitably that a lot of people in your generation will grow up and feel like this. Like they missed out on being a kid.
Funnily enough, back in year 11 I handed in my essay and the teacher called me up to the front as she couldn’t understand my writing. Bewildered, I had a look at it and realised that I too couldn’t read my own writing.
I'm a math teacher, and my god I felt this. It's far worse for English teachers.
Trust me, it is! I can't even get them to write a paragraph. I don't know how they expect them to write an essay.
Just starting out myself. Can confirm English and Social Studies are borked.
To be fair English is boring
@Earlierfour its crazy cuz "english language arts" which is mostly just studying literature, should be the most stimulating, for lack of a better word, since at least for me, analyzing literature (mostly movies and video game plots) is really fun. It's just taught in such a garbage way so that you basically can't learn anything from the curriculum and it's a complete waste of time. Everything I know about literature I know from watching youtube videos, not the countless classes I've had about shakespeare and other mostly garbage books they make us read
This kid is gonna get his ass kicked by his "computer science major" classes in less than 1 semester.
“This is the first time Ive done this”
“A hand written test?”
“No, handwriting”
Had me💀
I wanna see this character have a redemption arc later on eventually.
I will say this til my dying day: handwriting is a life skill. Print vs cursive doesn't matter too much, as long as you can write quickly and legibly. Yes, technology means we can get away with not writing by hand as often, but needing to do so at times will never go away entirely.
And I think there is value in doing it when you don't absolutely need to. Taking notes by hand in a class, for instance, helps you retain stuff in a way that typing them does not.
yeah I don't know how, but I feel that writing things down, and the effort it takes to shorten things and process them makes it easier to remember, while typing them is an almost mindless activity to me. (and yeah, it was a difference, once I went from a 97 to a 75 on two unit tests because I did all my notes and studying on my PC instead of paper)
I was in an online class recently, and felt a bit out of place. I was taking physical notes, after all, I signed up for this class, I want to have the information... yet I was the only one doing so. Everyone else was just staring blankly into the camera...
I hate how bad my handwriting is. No amount of practice made it better,and I've always had teachers who would give me shit about it,even when id explain to them what it said.
One took ten or more points off of everything I did,even if it was legible to "encourage" me to do better. It just made me lost the motivation to do well in her class because anything I did would be called because she didn't feel like taking an extra minute to look at my paper.
People don't generally have bad handwriting out of laziness or choice.
@@Ruby-re6ld Handwriting looks bad if you write fast. If you write slowly and ensure you are following through all your strokes correctly, your writing will look much better. Knowing when and where you need to write slow or if a quick note is all you need is a skill few people really have anymore.
@@digiquo8143 ah,the problem with that is when you write slowly,you can't keep up while writing notes
So perfect how he pulls out his phone and completely ignores that he is talking lol
I really don’t understand why these college kids who pay the money to go, don’t care about passing it. It’s pretty depressing honestly.
>assuming it's the kids who pay the money to go
College just feels like something you have to do and most take loans do they don’t possess the cost.
The parents pay the money and/or the kids take out massive loans without caring about how they’ll pay it back. 🤷
I went to a commuter state school, where most students were working and supporting themselves already, and then went to a private school for my graduate degree where most of the undergrads lived on campus. The difference in how seriously they treated their education was stark.
@lavenderxxx1210 The kids like this aren't taking out loans and aren't paying for it themselves. It's the rich parents who can't be bothered to be involved in their kids' lives but feel guilty and pay for their college.
To me he’s the most slappable if only to get him to snap out of whatever trance he’s stuck in lol
it is so deeply worrying to me how kids don't let themselves/arent allowed to get bored anymore, there's gonna be a future ahead where only very very few people are capable of being truly creative
it HORRIFIES me that kids who got an iPad shoved in their face or, alternatively, had spent most of their formative elementary years in school online bc of Covid may be on this trajectory - it's straight up sad 😭😭
Mhm, and what about the kids who spent all their times in the TV in the past? Or kids who only played with toys in the past?
It’s not on the child. It’s on the parent.
Letting a child grow up on iPad is easiest ticket to brain rot village
No it’s not. Just don’t neglect your children and let experience other things too.
@@doggoadexx2680giving and iPad to a kid has similar levels of neglect as not being home often. I can tell because I dealt with it.
@@qy9MC I had an IPad as a kid, though i got it a bit later in my childhood, i was about 8 years of age. It definitely didn't hurt me, i would say it saved me from getting in trouble as a kid, you know. We used to be the kind of boys to get into fights on a daily basis and watch martial arts movies all day.
I know this is a meme but I wanted to take the opportunity to say, if your writing is awful and no matter how hard you try you can't improve, look into dysgraphia, or being dysgraphic.
My hand writing is awful and I never used a pc, laptop or tablet for education outside of subjects where a computer is needed. I practiced hand writing and had 1 to 1 sessions specifically to improve my hand writing. It never happened. I failed my English exams, and retook them in college. They gave me a word processor (a PC) to do the exam, and I ended up with a B.
Writing fast or writing at all?
I understand this is a test so you're probably speedwriting, and it may be difficult for some people to have good (legible) handwriting when writing fast.
My handwriting isn't the best, I understand.
But writing slow?
I dont want to believe there are people who have bad hand writing when writing slow.
Simply writing at like a quarter of the speed nearly triples the quality of my hand writing
Once again.
Not useful for tests where you're under a time constraint. That I fully understand how someone could have handwriting 'not at their age level' completely understand.
I'm questioning are they just as bad writing slowly
@@xanderlastname3281 Yes they can be bad writing at any speed. It can also relate to drawing and finding it exceptionally hard to draw at all. The thing is, if you have to write 1 letter every 30 seconds (only way my writing looks good), whats the point?
If you really cannot believe this, google it and take a look at one of the many articles explaining what it is and why it exists. It's better than me trying to explain it in a youtube comment.
You might not want to "believe there are people who have bad hand writing when writing slow", but it's literally a thing some people just cannot do, and at that point it's not "writing", you're drawing a letter so slowly that you'll get nothing done.
@@xanderlastname3281 Because of hand eye coordination issues, it isn't that complicated...
I read somewhere that medical schools are having trouble training surgeons because finger dexterity is legitimately a problem for the touchscreen generation. They grow up with video games that don't even have buttons, and they struggle teaching their hands to keep up with their brains.
Also surgery is just really boring 😐
What gen aloha is taking college courses??? Even the latter half of gen Z is just starting to get out of high school
@@Masked_SVincent The later half of GenZ are almost 30 lol (1996/98 is usually "GenZ" territory. GenA usually start from 2008.)
I 100% believe that. I've also read that people are losing their penmanship skills and manual dexterity in general. Even millennials who learned to write in cursive in school, if they're not using it. We're not robots, we're flesh and blood and our abilities really do go away if we don't work those neurons and muscles.
@@Masked_SVincenthow's your lower back feeling? You're older than you think.
Missed opportunity to have the tenured boomer professor teach the iPad kid some lessons.
Underrated comment. Tenured boomer professor and grown iPad kid crossover when???
Makes me wonder if there is going to be a social-class flip when it comes to those who are most excelling in school. When I look at kids in the local Headstart program (which is preschool generally for low income households) they seem to be doing alright. Plenty social enough, plenty interested in activities, none of them seem to be so bound up in electronics that they can't function. There is probably going to be a gap between them and the students from higher income families when they get to grade school, and it is going to favor them.
Hadn't thought of that before, interesting points.
So basically the iPad kids are a problem that fix themselves assuming nothing too radical happens
The income achievement gap is higher than its ever been. If you did something these commentors haven't done, and actually talked to average kids in high school, you'd see that there's not anything to crazy about them. Among wealthy children, there can be insane pressure to takes lots of AP classes and compete at a high level in extracurriculars, they aren't sitting around all day watching tv.
This hurt to watch 😰😓😭 amazing job as always !!!
The professor is so patient for wanting to help this 18 year old toddler ❤
These are the same kids you see in comment sections that chronically respond "stop yapping" to any discussion longer than a sentence. Shit is kinda disturbing.
In all fairness, there are some people who genuinely use way too many words where it is not necessary
@@JykesonvilleYeah but here we are complaining about there attitude towards the even the smallest difficulty.
I grew up with a slew of issues both inherent and developed: autism, dysgraphia, anxiety, Sensory Integration Disorder, others. I'm simultaneously thankful and upset I was born mid 90s. Thankful because we were limited PS1/N64 and Game Boy level tech that had its limits and even then our parents were strict about its usage, and therefore happy I didn't have a screen shoved in my face since age 2. Upset because all these issues I had weren't as taken seriously by most adults and other kids: "oh you're just lazy/not trying/just stupid" and bawling my eyes out because I didn't want to believe them but secretly accepted that they were right. And it has taken ages just to get to where I am now and still learning to accept genuine compliments and I've made strides since those days.
Seeing this makes me so worried because the alternatives to iPads are so bombastically numerous you could even still substitute them with other hand held tech like those of the early 00's. Art books, comic books, (so many book options), pretend play, exploring, and despite what alot of people think: boredom is actually totally healthy for some children and helps them develop their imagination. I genuinely hope people like this are in the minority and iPad access becomes restricted to young children because I just don't see an alternative.
TL;DR there isn't a TL;DR because we'll be no better than Jordan here
I relate to your struggles of not having inherent issues taken seriously, and having issues of neurology shoved in your face like they were moral failings. It still happens to me sometimes.
TL;DR as a fellow person with ADHD - Boredom may stimulate creativity and imagination
ive been binging these videos and holy shit, the acting is so so so good
This is already reality at schools, apparently some kids can only type. And then you have to set up an entire classroom with computers for the tests, only for them to type a paragraph each, get bored and give up. I wonder what we used to do before we had computers, how did we manage to write things down.
Oh that's easy to answer, people wrote things down when they didn't have anything better to do. Now it's easy to find something better to do.
they asked how, not why. i hope humour doesnt die bc people are illiterate. 😢 @@ffwast
This one was really good, your acting is improving
Can we get a series (or at least a single skit) of "BMW/Mustang/Nissan Altima drivers who can't fathom that there are other cars on the road"?

This is the first video I found of his that was entertaining rather than infuriating. He plays his role well, but it's nice to see him play a different role.

One of the best characters you've created so far. We'll done!
Even as someone that spends WAY too much time online, even I’m worried about the state of Gen Alpha and young Gen Z. I remember playing in the mud growing up, and playing with bugs.
Yes. There was a lot of those “bored” moments, but I was able to make my own fun at the time. At the very least, I can sit with that boredom. Don’t set your kids up for failure.
If ipad kid and boomer who can't fathom other people exist meet, do they cancel each other out?
Perfectly balanced.

He has severe audacity to not give the kid subway surfers and ChatGPT
profs in college won't be like that for exams
What’s crazy though is the iPad kids _are_ actually college aged now. My brother who has had a device glued to his hand since birth is now 18 and will be going to college in the fall. I pity his poor professors. Like you kinda forget that these iPad “kids” are gonna grow up and not be kids anymore and the world is gonna have to deal with the repercussions of them knowing nothing about the world except *S C R E E N.*
Just this character's blank fucking stare made me lol when he first walked in
No wonder we named them after literal radiation
Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus.[5] They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay but may also be produced in other ways. Due to the short range of absorption and inability to penetrate the outer layers of skin, alpha particles are not, in general, dangerous to life unless the source is ingested or inhaled.
@@alejrandom6592 considering your intelligence, I doubt you're a member of that "generation"
We need a part 2 please … MORE 😂
Is it sad that I really think there will be a reality when kids won’t know how to handwrite? We already have grown adults that can’t read or write cursive and I’ve met people in their teens or 20’s who can’t read analog clocks so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the next progression.
Oh shit
Sadly i can see this happening too
If handwriting is included in a Pinterest/TikTok aesthetic, people will learn it.
Clocks like that are useful in times where knowing the hour and a rough idea of minutes is enough. But in a stressful situation like an exam where every minute counts it's rather annoying to not see the exact time. Hence military time.
I've actually been getting worse at quickly reading the time on analog clocks despite the fact that I grew up with them.
It's crazy how lazy the brain is.
iPad kid is right though, college professors are poor (no longer a tweed coat and pipe profession).
that shrug was so funny

Great video, though I feel like the lifelessness in his eyes in the first one is perfect, I wish future ones have more of that uncanny vibe
College is just a distant dream for iPad kids
This is basically what I go through daily as a high school history teacher.

I'm 16 and cannot even relate with my own generation. It's simply sad, especially considering that it tends to be worse the younger the people you observe. 😞
And I feel like this will just become worse every year for at least a century...
And I may add that ironically, I relate better with my teachers than with my own classmates.
What kind of generation to be a part of... 😡
“Im worried im going to be bored” is such a brilliant line that gets lost amidst the humour of it all but it’s so fundamental for what it means to be an ‘iPad kid’
I write like that despite never having touched an iPad
I feel sad for this kid. Habit is not easy to break.
At my school in Germany, we are allowed to use IPads in what would kind of equal high school (Oberstufe). We are all writing with a pencil still. The thing with having a typed text is that teachers instantly grow suspense of it being just copy paste from chat gpt. I honestly don't use Chat gpt for my work, but many do. I think that could be the next step. This guy just asking if he can attend the test with Chat gpt
