Tucker Carlson has a very important interview with Dr. Jean Twenge about the negative impact of smartphones on society and especially younger generations.
Not only is degradation of society being waged by vaccine induced autism of our children.
It also being induced by abnormal addiction parents and children have for their smart phones, which impairs the child development in their most formative years.

I don't do smart/i-phones and I don't do Facebook (or Twitter). I post on a few different boards (like this one)....and I send the occasional text with my dinosaur cellphone (no data plan). I'm good with that.

Very closely related, and recommended:
Nancy Colier on Coast to Coast (25 Jan 2017) discussing our reliance on technology. Many of the social and developmental problems that she highlights overlap directly with this short Tucker Carlson interview.

Same here Dave, except this is the only board that does it for me at the moment :happythumbsup:
Re: "Smartphones Have DESTROYED a Generation" Tucker Carlson Interviews Dr. Jean Twenge
i think this topic is closely related to the transhumanism agenda, kids that grow up with cell phones are already on the bandwagon.
they created a addiction for this technology and things will get more crazy in next coming years, im talking about enhanced reality and there will be the moment when this technology will be added directly into the human body.
there will be a split of our species, chose spirituality or technology.

I think we are all already chipped via SIM card wether we have the latest iPhone or a Nokia 3110. They can remotly activate the microphone or any function of any cellphone we currently have. I use a smartphone for 2 apps primarily: Google Maps because it's reliable worldwide and WhatsApp to stay in touch with family and friends.
Re: "Smartphones Have DESTROYED a Generation" Tucker Carlson Interviews Dr. Jean Twenge
No cell period, never mind i /smart phone period, or TV and only a landline phone. Computer is my link to Family, Friends and outside world and sometimes especially the latter is overwhelming.....:blushing:

Very interesting, indeed. Screens in strollers?! Holy baloney. Mind you, it is a very difficult juggling act for any parent isn't it; trying to find a balance between exposing them to the tech so that they have some involvement and familiarity with it, and, providing an environment where they are also unplugged from it and allowed to express their own beautiful natures without recourse to tech.
I am reminded of an old Hebrew proverb that we used to use in workshops at a former workplace of mine:
"Do not confine your children to your own learning, for they were born in another time."
This is a favourite of mine as well. The key word here of course is 'confine', and I feel that it is very important to expose and inspire learning and fire young minds by sharing something of your self and your experiences as an individual in a variety of ways not wholly dependent on tech, as it is very likely for those of us of a certain age, that we gained most, if not all of these, outside of the virtual cage. It's very much a case of how and when to use the tech. Not easy for parents at this time, I'm sure (I am not a parent).
Personally, I have made a choice not to use social media or smartphones, and just use an older handset that is not internet enabled. I tend largely to minimise my dependence upon it.
It is also very much a case, also, of what is actually being communicated? Does it have value? That is the filter that should be applied. Stop; think; how will this be received? Rethink; desist - limits damage. Sometimes not communicating anything can be just as valuable.

Still using my old flip top. If I want to take good pictures, I use a thing called... a camera. :) Worrying thing is tho, is the basic mobile even still available? How long before we're forced to get some kind of basic smartphone (if we need a cellphone), because the older models/technology have become "obsolete"? :shielddeflect:

Re: "Smartphones Have DESTROYED a Generation" Tucker Carlson Interviews Dr. Jean Twenge
a few weeks ago I listened to a short report on SWR3 German radio where they stated it is irresponsible for a parent to give a child under 14 a SmartPhone; in Korea (inventer of SmartPhones) there is an epidemic of near-sightedness amongst Korean children because of their constant obsession with this gadget and because this gadget has become their ENTIRE reality they haven't developed any social skills whatsoever-
be well all-

Apparently so... Nancy Colier refers to them in the second hour, at 20:36. (Unbelievable!)

My old tracphone died and getting a new battery was not possible. I bought a new tracphone and something called "smart move" shows up on the screen when booting up. I might just trash it...it was cheap anyway.
Is there any way of disabling the insidious "smart" spyware technology? Does it still work with it off and the battery out?

Interesting discussion, and probably one that's been repeated through the years.
I wonder -- if smart phones are destroying this generation,
did television destroy my generation - and radio the generation before?
Everyone who won't have a smart phone because you don't want to be sucked into the transhuman overmind,
are you ready to give up your Comcast or DirectTV too?
Programming is programming, whether delivered on a small or large screen.
Seems to me everything that Dr. Jean Twenge said about smartphones equally applies to television, and most probably other devices - even time spent at the computer.
TV socially isolates people and neighbors as people stare at the tube instead of socializing for real -- less face-to-face interaction.
If you stare at the TV or computer all day, what's the chance you will be reading a 300 page book? TV is a totally passive, one-way device.
Only 8% of the population read books anymore and much of that reading is fluff -- that precipitous drop in reading was well on its way before the advent of smartphones.
Plus, physical health is in jeopardy when average TV viewing is 4 1/2 hours a day -- that's 1642 hours a year, or over two months. TWO MONTHS!
Who knows how much time in comparison is spent by people sitting at their computers -- I'd bet it's equal to that or more.
TV and computers promotes a sedentary lifestyle, usually including snacks on junk food resulting in progressive ailments. There's an epidemic of diabetes and coronary problems.
TV exposes people to negative influences and promotes negative behavior -- shows and commercials usually show violence, alcohol, drug use and aberrant sex in a positive light.
Watching intense emotions on TV can affect you mentally. Those horror, violent, and frightful scenes depict physical, verbal, and other forms of abuse that can affect you psychologically.
Many TV programs do not make you think anything. They bombard you with hyper-dramatic content and you passively receive it.
This overtime can affect your analytical and creative thinking abilities.
At least with a smartphone one can actively communicate with another human being in real time
-- can anyone say the same thing during hours spent staring at a TV?
It's an interesting slippery slope -- but I find it disingenuous for one generation to be all upset over new technology
when the old technology is just as bad or worse.
But is anyone willing to recognize this and then not use these things?
If so, then I guess you'll have to consider never using a calculator too -- I've heard the same argument that the technology of a calculator
dumbs us down because we're not figuring out the math problem the old way, in our head.
Many other devices could be brought into the same discussion.
Of course, forum members here posting things to each other have no similarity to what goes on with smartphones....
ah, yeah.
Re: "Smartphones Have DESTROYED a Generation" Tucker Carlson Interviews Dr. Jean Twenge
We don't have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Using a calculator is not the same as a smartphone. A smart phone wants to get you addicted to it so that you filter your thinking and emotions through the smartphone. It is not like a calculator in that sense. But all forms of electronics can have some risk to it and people can become dependent on TV or sports or even the radio. But with a radio you often engage your imagination, it doesn't monitor you, it doesn't spy on you. It's all a question of degree. Not all electronics are bad and but some are worse then others on the mind and the psyche.
Not all programing is equal.
Electronics are getting more invasive, use more powerful and obvious mind control systems, attempt to change your thinking and behavior and filter what you can and can't see, it is more damaging and it's addictive, is it worse than seating in front of a TV, well, not sure both are programing the person in slightly different ways.
It's all about balance. I have a computer but I can turn it off and go for days without getting back on, if your electronics are running you and if you can't leave your home without your smartphone without having a panic attack or abandonment issues than you got a problem, same with TV.
These things were not created to make you smarter or more independent, they were created to sell you products you don't need, get you hooked and change the way you see the world. And they will also record all of you conversations and store them for what reason?
They want you to continue to be a compliant consumer and believe everything they report to on the news. No thinking necessary.
But I still want electricity, my calculator, my computer but I don't want it to control and run me, I want to use them but not be addicted to them.
Why do they want to spy on your every move, why the Alexia, and the smart TV, why do they think they need to chip everybody on this planet? All I can say that it is probably not because they like us or want to help us. It's a slippery slope.
It' all a question of degree.
Re: "Smartphones Have DESTROYED a Generation" Tucker Carlson Interviews Dr. Jean Twenge
When I look around me during my breaks at work, all I see is dozens of people sitting together at tables without any form of social interaction whatsoever. Everyone is just staring down at their phones, with the occasional sound of someone watching a video breaking the silence.
Even when you do attempt to start a conversation with the person sitting across from you, most of the time they don't even hear you, or it takes a minute for them to look up from their screen and say "Sorry, what?"
It's just an incredibly sad state of affairs, and hardly anyone even notices it. During these situations I often think and wonder about what these work environments must've looked like in the time of my parents and grandparents. And I imagine the canteens being bustling areas of people talking and laughing. Whereas now they're just dead.
