99% of humanity is too busy scrolling on their phones, consuming “content”, to even notice.

It looks like I'm a bit slow in noticing this, but I see more and more young people today getting dumbphones. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a backlash among them

17 year old guy who had rocked a dumb phone for an year or two and I still don't use a phone (I have a tablet that lies around but yeah)

I feel heard from this statement, thanks!

> I wouldn't be surprised if there's a backlash among them

The backlash is more than what people might imagine. We are a generation that most of us would have nothing to gain and thus nothing to lose as colleges are diluted more and more and job security becomes a question as we are still connected more than ever seeing all the darkness taking place live time while our consciousness has just sprung out in this chaotic unpredecented world.

Thinking about it, We as a generation are more lonely than ever, more hopeless than ever, more angry than ever. I feel like my generation might be watching phones not out of enjoyment but out of desperation for the day to end if meaning of life can't be derived from a normal place.


They won't be for long.
