The problem with entertainment nowadays is that kids have less patience. That's why things such as; add or adhd exist. And i think a child shouldn't have smart devices until at least teenage years.
Exactly.
They're being abused by the parents as just another distraction to get the kids to shut up and get off their backs.
I barely even got age-appropriate toys when I was younger, and to see so many kids being spoiled with $300+ hardware walking around like it's nothing makes me rage like few other things.
Well, things like add and adhd have always existed, but the rates have probably gone up. Whether due to it being more easily diagnosed, or actually because of smart technology, I'm not sure. Also ADD and ADHD differ in that one causes you to process information slower than usual, while the other makes you process it faster. I'm not sure which is which, or if I'm entirely correct, though.
Yea I see bitchy kids with iPhone 5s and I'm just like, "if this is their baby toy how the fuck do you plan on satisfying them when they are older?!"
.
And also, if your kid gets all the expensive shit as a kid they are gonna be stupid spoiled assholes when they get older. And then you'll be like, "oh man where did I got wrooongg?"
I don't understand why the kids are being the bad guys in the situation??? The parents of these kids are the ones that should be blamed in all honesty.
I agree with you ENTIRELY. There was recently a study, where children were taken into a room and told to sit in silence for 15 minutes. More than half of them cheated (took an iphone in etc), the other half couldn't finish the challenge. How depressing is that.
I will never ever buy my future children an ipad, ipod or computer. If they want an ipod they can get a job and pay for it themselves. I'll only allow the computer when they get to high school. Otherwise, tough luck go play with a fucking doll.
As usual, I blame the parents. Stop buying your bratty kids everything they want. There's a world out there to be explored. You only have 80 years (usually less) to experience the universe before your life ends. Why do you want to waste your time, during your precious childhood, playing fruit ninja for three hours?
I dunno. It's not like it's their fault they were born in this generation. I mean, if a '90s kid was given a phonograph or old telephone when they were 12 they wouldn't completely understand it either.
My biggest pet peeve isn't these kids. It's the people who raised them and pretend that the kids are the problem. These children were not born with the instinct to use electronics-their parents bought them for them or showed them to them. Don't complain like the generation below us is screwing everything up. We already have for them.
If you actually watch the video most of the kids were pretty sensible except for that kid who thought it was an mp3. That kid pissed me of I wanted to punch him.
In episodes with kids/old things, the last kid is always awesome. The other kids, I just want to slap their parents and send the kids back to the 90's.
IN MY OPINION You can't blame these kids. This is the generation they've been born into. They can't change that. iPads, iPhones, etc. Are what they've been exposed to their whole life.
That's why I want to slap their parents. New tech is good, but spoiling your kids with all the new stuff where they don't even have to work for it, that's just bad parenting. When I was a teen, I had to do chores and small jobs for other people to pay for my Game Boy Color and N64, and I honestly think I'm a better person because of it. I do the same thing with my kids, if they want an iPhone or an iPad or whatever, I'll help em out, but they need to do real work for it. By not flooding your kids with whatever they want, they can learn how things work and appreciate what they have, as well as what came before that. It helps them understand and respect the things that came before their time, so that they don't grow up to be conceited brats who disregard everything except for what they want RIGHT NOW. Sorry for the long reply :)
Everyone's complaining about little kids having iPads and such, but when I was 6 I would have LOVED a magic screen with like all my favorite games, and y'all would've too.
I'll take Metroid II: The Return of Samus over ANYthing the ipad has to offer any day of the week, and twice on sundays.
Love that fuckin' game. It was my first for the original gameboy, in fact.
