Debate: Effects of technology on modern youth
Tinman57:
As a 25 year old, I just missed the online/technology social revolution.
The main thing I notice is that young people (and a lot of older ones) don't get the concept of criticism and mild insults.
People get so used to disconnecting/blocking any negative that they can't don't know how to deal with it properly, AND then are scared of giving a negative comment in fear of being deleted.
So people are used to a diet of 'likes' and no longer know how to turn criticism into a joke and deal with it.
Which leads to emperors new clothes scenarios, everyone too scared to say anything but the person is actually totally useless.

Well I agree.
It seems that in this extreme liberal country where "every student is given a trophy just for playing" and "there are no winners & losers" society, being negative is politically incorrect. Gee, no wonder so many young ones can't take any kind of criticism.
