The single most depressing video I have seen this year. And yeah, this is why Trump won. The level of ignorance in this country is so profound, that it's no wonder they can't tell that Trump is lying.
This isn't just a handful of students, it's dozens and dozens.
I doubt any of them carries cash or coin. It's all credit/debit cards and electronic payment methods.
Analog clocks? Why would they go out of their way to waste space on their phone display to enable one?
Math? Yeah, lost art. Nobody even needs a calculator anymore, just ask google.
Geography? Maps, Atlases, Globes? They're expensive. And they seem largely absent or ignored now. They don't even need to have any familiarity with their local area, everything is 'nav software' and 'ride share' in their world, with forgotten irrelevant 'drive through' neighborhoods inbetween.
Politics & current events? And endless overwhelming deluge of information that sweeps over them without sticking due to just how relentless it is. They've become desensitized to it. Unless it obviously and directly pertains to them in a way they immediately understand... it doesn't make it past their filters.
Cursive is lost. Printing is following it. The ability to read only still exists because texts are convenient.
They are learning something. They're learning how to tune out the attention seeking pervasive marketing that dominates all communication/information sectors. Unfortunately they've gotten so good at it that they're filtering out relevant, essential and basic knowledge too.
So yeah. We're f**ked, and because we don't have an informed electorate, our elections are doomed to slide towards loud entertaining populist shitbags rather than competent law-makers.
