I figure most of us here are geezers that might have a hard time accepting some of the changes the world has experienced over the past few years.
As an older GenXer, I feel the tiniest bit of "ownership" around the development of online culture (After all... it was us of the BBS and Usenet that led to /. , digg, reddit and FB, before the advent of Insta, Snap and now TikTok...). Reading this (really well written article) fills me with both dread and sympathy. Dread about what will become, when these broken kids inherit the earth; and, sympathy about the unstemming tide that is currently washing over them.
Enjoy the read, maybe you will have a different reaction.
