Remember that time Facebook did outright human experimentation on people without their knowledge or consent and it almost definitely caused a few suicides? Because I sure do but nobody else seems to which is real depressing.

I would have a hard time raising a kid nowadays. I see parents leave their kids in front of a tablet so they can zone out and at least with television there was a limit to how bizarre and deranged content can get. Without fail every time I go for a service call to a rougher part of town and into apartments with lovely parents, the kid is watching finger family stuff. At least when I grew up social media only really came into play in our late teens, but poo poo that happened on the internet was already kind of creeping into daily life. I can't imagine what a kid's social life looks like now, with multiple social media platforms and all this connectivity and always online poo poo. Unless you're like my friend who lives in a relatively well to do area and the parents there are a little granola and all decided to limit screen time, it's hard to keep kids off social media and online games and poo poo without impacting their social lives.

Moridin920 posted:Maybe they're all having mental health issues because of the enormous stresses and pressures placed on them right from getting into 'a good preschool' to applying for colleges and beyond. That's a huge one. I teach, and am currently getting my masters in early childhood development, and there are so many kids growing up with little to no supervision. I had a 7 year old tell me he wanted to die, and presented me with a hand drawn picture of how he would kill himself 7 different ways. Turns out his dad is completely out of the picture, his mom is in drug rehab, and the grandma who raises him has zero knowledge about the internet. The kid was watching clips from SAW and other horrible poo poo on youtube at all hours of the day and night, and had also been watching hardcore pornography. Rarity posted:It's because capitalism, op

There are tons of kids growing up with little to no supervision for sure. I think social media can definitely be bad when there's no guidance - I just mean I doubt there's something specific that makes Twitter worse than like Happy Tree Friends or whatever other insane stuff the early internet poo poo out. E: granted it is fair that there seems to be very little regulation even compared to the fairly milquetoast broadcasting rules that have to be followed with regards to children's programming on TV. I don't think that's a problem inherent to the medium so much as tech companies love to skirt regulations via loopholes and redefining words, though.

Straight up neglect will have a huge effect. An infant that doesn't get talked to, isn't taken out of their carrier for tummy time, isn't given tactile toys or allowed to learn how to feed themselves and plopped in front of a TV for 14 hours a day are going to have serious social and developmental issues. I don't really think it's the content itself so much as the lack of necessary interaction.

Well for one, back then way fewer kids were even using the internet, and even fewer were using the internet constantly every day everywhere they went as the primary means of communication with literally everyone, even people they know personally and see every day. Then again I was using the internet pretty constantly back when I was an idiot nerd tween/teen and I'm pretty norm...al... right...? Oh...

If they're not being a shut in and replacing real interactions with virtual ones (which the parents should have nipped in the bud long before it got to that point) then I don't really see the issue though? Just teach them that everyone idealizes their online persona etc. and teach them how to process their feelings/emotions and cope with bad stuff etc. like you'd have to do with a kid anyway at some point if you don't want mass media to devour their mind.

Yeah well being a parent is difficult and lovely and requires a lot of time/effort/patience and that's one of many reasons I haven't had kids. I also don't think kids are as stupid as most adults assume, though.

I do taxes for a living as staff and it’s wild how the partners who own the practice don’t seem to realize the obvious disconnect in motivation. like if I stay late and work all night to get the taxes done a little earlier the client will be happier and may give us more business in the future, which makes the partner more money. I get paid straight salary either way though, so tell me why I want to ever be at work.

I just don't buy that screen time / video games / social media are inherently worse than other forms of neglect, such as an 80s parent parking their kid in front of the TV 14 hours a day or whatever the equivalent is. Or that they are worse than other forms of mass media and they must be avoided like radioactive materials that will fry the developmental process.

"Replacing real interactions with virtual ones" is my whole point though, that happens way more than it used to, almost automatically, and even if you limit it the "normal" levels are much higher than they were even 10-15 years ago. On top of this, internet interactions personally matter a hell of a lot more now, they carry way more social "weight" than they used to. Maybe that's bad, maybe it's not, I don't know, but I think it's something very different in essence than it used to be, and you might not be able to extrapolate out "well I liked happy tree friends" onto today as easily as that.

Yeah idk, I think some of the complaints about TV were valid too and we've just sort of like, internalized them as normal, like we do the risks of driving. Like Sesame Street was specifically created to harness the psychology of TV (and especially TV commercials) to teach kids, and it's shown that it's methods are very good at molding and shaping kids squishy child brains...

People also seem to be forgetting that modern internet and social media is literally engineered to A) be as addictive ("engaging") as possible, and B) literally promote white supremacy. Watching a lot of TV or listening to a lot of radio or reading novels or riding bikes didn't lead a whole swath of young people into white supremacy. Modern social media is allowing and enabling just that. The social engineering going on currently is a lot more perfidious and all encompassing than any form of mass media before it. Trying to compare the modern social landscape to previous ones is ignoring the incredible speed and thoroughness that all of this has become essential to functioning in a modern world.

And literally every authority in the position to police it at all is just going to take any excuse to censor LGBT content and leftism and actively promote white supremacy more. That said though, it's not the internet that created an entire generation of alienated, atomised, socially maladjusted young white people who grew up promised the world and got ended up with less than nothing.

Yes and many people abuse drugs not because of the drugs themselves but because they alienated, atomised, socially maladjusted, and so on and so on. It is still a good idea to lock the medicine cabinet lest the kids accidentally try the red pills.
