Wee, saved another 20 1/2 minutes.

I think the future is bleak. People prefer more and more to "listen" instead of "read", and to "ask" instead of "learn". Not picking on anyone here, I just carry a belief that large sections of the new generation(s) will largely be close to illiterate by the time of adulthood in 30-40 years - with their primary interactions almost entirely within future iterations of [Alexia, podcasts, YouTube, speech-to-text, and auto-correct, etc.] Such a thing would also make them the most-manipulatable of any historical generation; not that humans haven't always been incredibly manipulatable to start with.

ETA: Totally OT by the way, just an OG rant.

You'd be wrong, just like how everyone thinks no one has any attention span anymore, yet somehow 3+ hour podcasts are more and more popular. Every generation since the beginning of time has always thought that future generations will be more dumb and worthless, and they are always wrong, every time.
