The next generation is so fucked. Wait...they be the ones who take care of me in the old person home. I'm fucked as will.
People have been claiming that new media will destroy society at least since we invented writing, and probably before.
No I get that, but this is different honestly. Look up rates of teenage depression/anxiety/suicide attempts, it's a stunning correlation with the advent of smartphones and social media. Millenials got out just in time.
I agree there are still a lot of problems with social media, not the least of which is I'm not sure if yt or fb ever adjusted their algos to not immediately start pushing alt right and neo nazi content. But don't forget that the suicide rates are also correlated with a bunch of other bad shit, like growing income inequality and healthcare spending, loss of 3rd places, rent hikes, etc.
I think it has a lot more to do with social media than smart phones. I remember kids being bullied through tombstone messages on Oregon Trail floppies.
Look at Mr Moneybags here, getting cared for in an old person home.
They're gonna put a camera in your room and post all your old people antics on future tik tok
Nobody wants to see old people.

Who is Will and why is he so fucked?

Karma.
The young treat the old however they do. But then the young grow old and get treated the same.
