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.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
