Thank you to all the young people commenting! It always breaks my heart when I see little kids glued to their phones in public places, like restaurants or even on sidewalks. Some parents use technology as a baby sitter, but unlike a loving and compassionate baby sitter, phone won’t teach a child any of these emotional values properly. That was the motivation behind this video! Please remember to support this channel and subscribe. Much appreciated!
Who played with toys as a kid? Edit: This is not a like beg this is just for fun so I removed the hand. I’m liking Everyone in the comments to hopefully bring peace
@@ruthcelephais4612 they mainly do it due to the way how they are raised (like comment above), background, how they are treated, and if they are getting help if they have a mental issue and sharing it with their parents
I’m a late Gen Z, pushing Zalpha and alpha (September 2008). Unlike most of the older Gen Z’s I was born into the internet and had an iPad since I was a toddler just like Gen Alpha so I’m basically an iPad kid (Gen A in all but name). I also have a sister who’s a full Gen Alpha. So I feel qualified to say that: Gen Alpha is NOT doomed. Ya’ll are seriously overreacting about this generation. Have you noticed that every single generation thus far has been criticized by older people just as they were rising? In the 1960s, Boomers were criticized as “overly naive hippies” who would destroy the world with their radical ideas. In the 1980s/90s, Gen X was criticized for being uncultured, unruly and overall “slackers”. In the 2000s/2010s, Millennials were criticized for being “Lazy and entitled” and too reliant on the internet. In late 2010s/early 2020s, Gen Z was criticized for being “chronically online, stupid and disgusting” and was told they wouldn’t have a future. Now in 2024, Gen Alpha (who hasn’t even gotten on its feet yet) is being criticized for being glued to their IPads and overall brain dead and are being told, once again, that they have no future. Have you noticed something else, all of these generations were fine in the end. Stop. Bullying. Gen Alpha. Let’s be the ones that end the inter generational bullying that’s gone on for so long.
Parents don’t want a child with a broken leg or a child who couldn’t speak but they give children an iPad to let them sit quietly and not run around the room.
I'm gen Z. As a young child my parents let me use the ipad to play children games (cooking, fashion etc) and learning apps. But I also read a LOT of books, played outside, pretended to be a doctor or a poor princess who got kicked out of the kingdom and left to starve, doodled, and other fun activities. I-pads aren't the main problem. They can be a good way to learn and have fun under good management. The problem is what you do with it and whether you do other things or not.
When I grew up, having internet in the household was a luxury. Surfing was paid for by the minute, and kids could not surf more than 2 hours a week without the phone bill going through the roof. We rang each other's doors, played ding dong ditch, and made snowmen in the winter. Our entertainment was listening to the radio, play Nintendo NES and swimming in the forest.
@@caracalboy6000 You will have so much to experience, kid. But don't go overboard on everything. Just like the Internet, there's always a border of the most horrible and addictive things in reality. Try to keep yourself away from it, yes?
Born in 2009, played with blocks, cars, legos, etc. Those toys were so much fun. I never realized just how much they actually helped me to cultivate my imagination.
Same! I loved playing with building toys, they made me feel like I could make anything I saw in the TV shows. When I had friends over, We would take our action figures along wiht these outside onto the deck and play with them, making sure nothing got lost, and it was rly fun.
I’m not that early but I loved Legos. I got this whole pack of Lego blocks and built tons. I still have some to this day. I’m just glad I wasn’t born in time for the horrors of content farms
Early gen Alpha here (2011). These parents are absolutely TERRIBLE at parenting for letting their kids have an iPad, EVEN before the age of 3. That is just mental to think about. To be fair, I also used technology at a very young age, but it was heavily monitored so this outcome wouldn't have happened. I've also decided to have RUclips as my only social media and to not watch short-form content, which really has paid off. Gen Alpha kids aren't really messed up in the country I live in though, which is just because they have GOOD PARENTING. Thanks for reading this rant though, have a great day :)
Im also early gen alpha and I do not act like this lol. I only started watching short-form content until I was in 5th grade or so and I actually do really well in school. My parents ( also me) are Hispanic and im pretty sure this only happens in america.
I'm Gen Z (1998). I used to play outside with the other kids at a playground and enjoy a lot of fun activities in school. My parents bought toys at Toys R Us, I played mostly with dolls and stuffed animals, play at the indoor playground at Burger King and McDonald's, they also gave us toys as well, play with board games and some puzzles, read books, coloring books, and played with the cat and dog. I began using the Internet since 2007. Since then, I have spent many hours a day online on my computer. I've always been told that you have to go out and meet people. I'm 26 now, and need less electronic devices, avoid screen time, and be much more in-person with how life used to be. This is what every human being wants: peace and friendship, interactions with people (face-to-face), rather than social media or technology. "Let them go outside and touch grass, let them have the same rich childhood you had." is where I completely agree. Hopefully, I wish you all the best in everything, my friends. Be blessed and have a wonderful day. 🙏❤
@@samuelflipaclip7415 I meant iPads because Gen Z did not get a iPad at a super young age like Gen Alpha because some models of the "Tablet" weren't around in Mid Gen Z's time until late Gen Z and For Phones, I meant "Digital Smart Phones" Sure, there were phones like Nokia but those weren't addictive like iPhones so people weren't on them all the time, so that's what I mean
or it could be the creator of whatever the kids are watching, the thing they watch is overstimulating and so the kids wanna see it all. if the thing wasn't overstimulating it would've been fine. reply to me if otherwise
@@starmariopackage1 paretns giving the ipad or something to the child and doesnt pay attenion on them so they alone with internet they can watch every thing because parents doesnt looking to them
A malay proverb says: “Melentur buluh biar dari rebungnya” or in english “Bend the bamboo from the bamboo shoot”. Have you ever noticed that bamboo shoots are easy to bend but they get stronger when they become bamboo? This also happens to humans. If we let them bend(learn) from using their ipads, the will become hard in emotions when their ipad is taken away.
As somebody who is Gen Alpha, I think people are overreacting way too much. Last year, I was in a class of 27 people. Only around 3 of them were like how the internet describes them. It's not the end of the world, there are plenty of normal Gen A kids, plenty of people who play outside and aren't glued to a screen all day.
My little brother is from your generation and because of the fact that we prohibit him from excessive use of devices, he's a lot less ignorant about how braindead gen alpha actually is, unlike you In fact, he complains on a daily basis about how doomed your generation is
I was born in 2008 and I really miss those old days when everyone in my kindergarten class would go outside to play, get dirty, and have some quality time together. However, now it seems like children aren't going outside to play after school these days. The kindergarten playground I used to go to now looks like an empty void full of forgotten happiness.
I’m 13 years old. I haven’t had an iPad or an iPhone until I turned 12, when I entered middle school. None of my friends or anyone I had known in my elementary school had devices except for an Apple Watch or some other type. I never had any screen time except for the television. I can’t believe that these kids are being this terrible, and I am still considered gen Alpha.
@oliveroliver_official like I had a device when I turned 10 I'd are these parents stupid or smth u should only give a device once ur kids brains are fully developed and even then 2 hours of screen time max
As a gen Alpha in a south asian country I am kinda glad our country is not on that level of development yet as most teenagers does not even have their own phone and most of us are normal except some rich kids in the most urbanized areas...
Holy crap the fact that one kid was imitating scrolling on a phone that didnt exist because their so addicted to it is insane. I am 13 now and one of the earliest to grow up with an Ipad but i only really played Bad Piggies on it and i would still go outside and play with my nerf guns when i was a kid. it is really crazy how much the Ipad kid has changed over the years its absolutely bonkers
Also٫ there is a difference with gen alpha iPad kids can kids who try or are liberated of the media. The iPad removes your ability of many things to do OK like he said٫but if the child tries to not or already is out of that loop٫ he can be fine٫ being gen alpha.
I met my first cousin once removed 3 years ago, we were at a house near a lake for vacation as a family. She was like 10 years old and she didn't detached from her phone. I was happy to see the stars at night, since in the city we cannot see them and I had spent my chilhood looking at the stars. There was a meteor shower that weekend and when we finally managed to see a shooting star we got excited, my cousin got curious and asked what was happening, we explained to her and guess what she did.... SHE DOWNLOADED AN APP TO TRY TO SEE THE SHOOTING STARS AND EVEN TURNED THE FLASHLIGHT ON. I was sooooo in shock that she didn't know something that basic at that age. I immediately tried explaining to her about light pollution but I really don't know if she actually retained the information, she just didn't seem attentive most of the time.
maria I love space and love to see the moon and stars I even saw a meteor ☄️ many times and I loved it. I like it that you liked watching the stars and stuff! That’s cool
I’m gen alpha, and I read books in my free time, I play outside, and sometimes play video games. I’m so grateful that I didn’t get an iPad till I was in fifth grade, and a phone is sixth. I hate how many of the kids in my generation act like psychos without a screen, and how they seem to represent all of us. 😔
I do use social media as a gen alpha but not until 6th grade. and I still make myself stop scrolling and go outside and play. It is annoying how many of our generation were raised to be obsessed with screens
I’m going to 5th grade soon and most of the kids who go psycho without a screen are prolly in like kindergarten or something lol. I’ll cover this topic on my channel.
I got my tablet at grade 3! , i still read books alot. I still do gym and stuff! I dont like these new kids .. but still, my little brother is a LATE gen alpha, but he wont complain when his ipad gets away, he is actually smart.
Late gen z here, it's alright luv, the media does tend to push and over exaggerate stories. In a few years we'll all be obsessing over something else. Either way, this whole thing isn't your fault. I guess the best you can do right now is set example for the people you want to change
growing up in Africa , we had no TV , no gaming console, no toys….we always played soccer with kids from other communities after school for fun and after playing we stick to our homework and read some books before going to bed 🛌 it may sound boring to some of you but it was the best life for a child…on Saturdays we roam in the monkey sanctuary and have fun in the wilderness ❤
My sister be complaining to my mom and grandma for their phones and got pissed and cried when I got a new phone for Christmas She said I already had a phone and it should be hers
I’m a gen alpha, my parents THANKFULLY didn’t give me an iPad. When I did get one I still went outside with my friends not caring abt skincare and the latest Skibitty toilet 🤦♀️ I hate being a gen alpha and sometimes I wanna move generations, so PLEASE PLEASE help my generation and what their becoming so I can live my life knowing I’m in a good generation 🙏
Bro all of them would scream SKIBIDI DOP DOP DOP YES YES SKIBIDI W DIP DIP and they would bully people with online comments that would literally contain🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷🗿🍷
It hurts to see kids glued like this. I’m a 17year old babysitter and one kid I was babysitting hit me in the eye when I took away his tablet. These kids are insane.
Same im 17 but not a baby sitter cus that job sucks ass but honestly do most kids act like that with a ipad i dont think all kids act like that even for my classmates they scroll on tiktok all the time which gen z would do even my cousin does that its not just gen alpha gen z also have that problem
I have two 3 year old cousins, and it's heartbreaking to see them glued to their devices, acting abnormal without them. Edit: can't do anything to help them, I also didn't have access to technology until 11
My ONE YEAR OLD cousin watches cocomelon on yt and literally knows how to skip ads and scroll. I swear he's been doing it since he was like 10 months old
I was born in 2012 (early gen alpha or late gen z)and when i was little i played outside all day long with friends and right now i do a little bit of everything like i go outside,play video games,play football outside , go to the mall etc
As a Gen Alpha I am sadly addicted to devices, but other than that I also do other stuff like art, talking to my friends and family, writing stories, etc. I don't sit in one place EVERY SINGLE TIME watching iPad. I also take my education very seriously and get good grades. Thankfully I am not a spoiled brat and watch iPad EVERY SINGLE TIME.
the YT short addiction really scares me, i can't imagine being so glued to a phone for hours. my uncle is extremely addicted to them though. after seeing this kind of stuff happen, i honestly support my parent's decision on not getting a phone or any other device
Good for you! I am gen z, and I play video games and tablets to. It's okay, as long as you also enjoy real life and don't play electronics all the time. So yeah, you are good.
90s kid here; We were one of the last generation that grew up playing with toys and going outside to get messy and muddy as kids. I rarely see kids out playing nowadays 😟
That brcause of greedy and ignorant developers who make city less pleasant for its inhabitant for doing anything outside house+incompetent law enforcers who cannot handling criminals perfectly. At least in non urban area still present some wide space and kids still explored such area
I'm a teenager and I honestly can't stand everyone around me using these electronic devices all the time. It's like they dont have their own life. I hope it changes for better... Thank you for such an incredible video!
You will discover that you live in the real world. One day you will want to make your life as offline as possible. Play board games, meet people face to face, a real life. Humanity did not need internet or screens for millenia, not even the greatest empires. You will discover that living offline is freedom.
@@aquarius5719 Yeah, I agree with you... But I'm confused about how you're using 'you'. Are you talking to me or is it information for kids that has been shown in the video?
@@xxanaxxgames6048 If you watch the movie "war games" you will see life of young people in a time when there was no Internet. It was a time when people had issues with digitalizing so much. The use of you might even apply to me. Internet is firmer Arpanet, a military network and government wants it back. So why not give it back to them and live offline? No need to worry about a ban and you live in the real world.
I honestly think that Covid had something to do given the fact that these kids were cooped up in a house for at least few years. They were exposed to nothing but screens and didn’t get to experience the same childhood we all had.
As an 11-year-old Gen A, I'm happy to say I am not one of these kids. I would rather play with my friends in real life than be on screens all day. I do own a MacBook and a phone but that's it. These parents should care more about them. Good vid! Thanks for bringing awareness for this situation
Honestly parents should raise their kids like how Matthew Patrick and Stephanie are raising their son, Oliver Patrick/ Ollie, this boy only gets half an hour/ less of screen time and not even every day and what does he spend it on? Khan academy kids (which is an app that helps kids learn). He is an adorable, healthy kid that doesn’t watch RUclips, only TV shows and has gotten his first IPad at the age of three and he has not been consistent with using it and they only gave him 30 minutes and it was all for educational learning. They truly are amazing parents.
I like how you use Matpat, and his wife Stephanie as an example, not only because Matpat and Steph are well known for their intelligence and research, they are also known for having recently left games theory to focus on their kid.
Mostly I do my homework and then I spend llike the rest of my day playing on my computer not taking breaks. Tho sometimes I ask myself "is there something wrong with me?"
not only that, they also make him play good games and good toys to spark his imagination so he can grow up as an adult and innovate, which is very good of them
'99 kid here. I used to play outside, play with legos mostly, sometimes other toys. Smartphones arrived massively when I was 12 and that's when everyone started using their phones a little too much. Life seemed much more joyful before smartphones and portable social media.
me too. IDK if that was bc we were kids tho or if it really was better. 2012 was a great year societally. too bad the mayans got their calender right... i think
@@reiddavidson I have experienced childhood of playing with friends, no smartphones in the way. Then there came teenagehood along with smartphones. Thats when I was mostly being with myself and my smarthpone. I can 200% confirm that indeed all the kids who grew up on smartphones/iPads and such have missed out on lots of proper childhood experience and fun. Teenagehood was depressing for me. Everyone stopped hanging out and closed themselves within the doors, so consequently did I.
Oh my goodness. That part towards the end with the video stating that 5 year old girls are TWERKING is beyond sad, disgusting, and messed up. I feel so bad that these children are being raised by parents who won't stand up and take these harmful devices away from them. My own sister is glued to an iPad and it makes me really upset. Nothing I say changes it."She's just tired, let her play for a while!" and she ends up playing all night, and sleeping way later than she did before. It's horrifying. These devices shouldn't be in little kids' hands. These children won't be able to think back on memories of playing with their friends or family outside, or going to a theme park or ANYTHING from the real world. All that will be remembered is the iPad and disturbing content they viewed on it. Save gen alpha, please.
it just pisses me off that little kids usually under the age of 10 are having their brains be rotted away by apps like instagram, YT shorts, Tiktok, and god knows what other shit They're seeing, and the parents aren't even batting an eye. my 11Yo cousin literally tried to BITE me because i tried to borrow their tablet. these kids are turning into phone zombies fr
As a thirteen year old who only recently got my phone, the difference between me and most of my classmates throughout school has been alot. I have been constantly getting bullied by them due to just having a higher amount of intellect then them. I'm grateful to both my parents for not heeding the call of the easy way out.
I’m only 13 years old and I’m so Appreciated and grateful my parents didn’t give me any technology at such a young age and that I don’t have or want social media. I’m so sad that these kids have no imagination, and sad these kids don’t even want to play with their toys or don’t even want to play outside.
I totally agree with you on that. I had a phone at the age of 6, though, but I turned out as a responsible person. Now I use my ipad a ton, but for digital art, which is something I want to excel in. I don’t tecnically think the technology is BAD, it’s the way it is presented.
2006 kid here, I was raised in a very heavy electronic household. My dad is an IT guy and was an avid Gen-X gamer, so naturally I also had my hands on several devices. I’d play a lot of games on the PS3 or Xbox 360, or sometimes I’d watch my Dad play, and other times we’d play together. But along with that, I also had access to an iPad, an iPod, a whole desktop computer, and the TV. It’s really upsetting seeing these kids essentially depend on the iPad, all ‘cause their parents don’t wanna parent. I could never imagine throwing a tantrum if my electronics were taken away. I’d probably tear up a bit and just lay down somewhere trying to relax myself and deal with the punishment by drawing. One time I was banned from having RUclips for 2 weeks, so I spent that time watching movies, playing games, drawing, and hanging out with my brother instead. Usually, videos like these would discourage people from having kids. But if anything, this video makes me want to have a kid and raise them in a similar way to how I was raised. Electronics are okay as long as they don’t consume a kid’s life. Make sure to monitor what it is your kids watch, and spend some theme with them if they’re playing a game.
For anyone curious and wanted more details as to the specifics of my childhood life. I’d spend a lot of time watching RUclips or playing any Shark-related mobile game I could find. But the videos I’d watch were never true brain-rot like the content for the kids of today. They were classic late 2000s and early 2010s Let’s Plays and were very relaxed in nature. No constant jump cuts, no extreme edits, no bright colors, no meme sounds, just the player and the game, and I loved it a lot (thanks Chuggaaconroy). I’d also love watching plush videos (SML, Spindashpro, CuteMarioBros, etc), Top 10 lists, animations, or Tributes to Prehistoric Animals while Three Days Grace plays in the background. But if I’m not watching RUclips, then I was likely watching Nickelodeon shows. I also loved games as well. I’d be playing games for a younger audience like Ratchet & Clank, Sonic, LittleBigPlanet, Toy Story 3 (GOATed), Rayman, Minecraft, etc. And when I wasn’t playing, I’d be watching my Dad play more adult games like Dead Space, Infamous, God of War, Bioshock, and more. So even if I played games, my Dad still found a way to get a father-son bonding experience out of it, and would even play some of the multiplayer games together, or do the classic “it’s my turn when you die” routine for the single player games. Though he never let me play any game beyond “T for Teen” for obvious reasons. Except Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse though. For some reason my Dad was really okay with me and my brother watching Family Guy, even if my Mom wasn’t too fond of it (God forbid Lois say “sex on TV” when my Mom was present). I guess Family Guy is one of the more tame adult shows, since most jokes would’ve gone over the heads of kids like me and my brother. In spite of this, I also loved playing with toys as well. Me and my little brother (3/19/2009, today is actually his birthday) would always make up stories of our plushies going on these wild adventures. Sometimes influenced by the videos we may have watched while wearing headphones. If my Mom heard any swearing, she’d tell me to switch the video. And while I may have gotten around it at times, I was never disrespectful to my parents by cussing them out or anything, since I knew that was wrong and I’d be punished for it. Not to mention how much fun I had talking with my friends at school about Minecraft or just general things about games. Very awkward trying to explain what “Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace” was to a bunch of other 7-year olds though.
some years ago, when i was ten, i had to study for an important test for half a year, and i wasn't allowed to watch youtube for that whole time. i went through without complaining, and doing proper child things (other than studying) to cure boredom. i also can't imagine throwing such a big tantrum just because i couldn't use electronics, and it's really sad
I’m a Gen Z teen. I’ve been investigating on how IPads are badly affecting the Gen Alpha kids. They are now throwing tantrums at each other and never do reading, writing, or even swimming lessons. As for me, I grew up without IPads or any other electronic gadgets. My life was very simple back then and I’m always active and play with my friends during my elementary days.
im a kid by myself and to see other children rage over ipads when they get taken away makes me feel kinda shocked EDIT: How did this get 200 likes- EDIT 2: 300 likes?? more then some of my videos lol
Look I have a iPad for like 9 years and I am 13 but i wasn’t angry when I didn’t have it, I had fun outside also, I know how to climb and repel on mountains, can’t thank my family enough, I may have a lot of screen time but I don’t have a choice
As a 13 year old (2010) I’m still hella confused if I’m a gen alpha or gen z, but I sit here and hope I’m gen z. Being apart of this next generation, this one corrupted and disconnected beyond belief, scares me. I was in front of a screen at abt 8 yrs old and have been ever since, and I’m starting to feel the negative effects.
I’m also a kid and I’m 10. I really love games on my iPad, but I don’t take it too far. I take my education and life seriously. It’s important not to go to much into the iPad world and get manipulated. My brother is 7 and he is going crazy on iPad. I told him not to many times and warned him. Now he fixed himself and thanks me and my parents.
I am so thankful I was born in 1981. I grew up without all if this mess. Had my first Nokia phone in 2000 when I started college. No Internet on my phone. Just basic calls. Basic texts. Society has really gone downhill since those days
'89 here, got my first Nokia in 2005 which only worked in town, didn't get internet until 2009 when I moved out of home (no internet or mobile reception where I grew up, just a landline phone and satellite for TV, the area still didn't get internet until Starlink was launched, there was Skymuster satellite but it was useless.) Glad I grew up with just the basics.
GenZ undergrad here. My parents raised me as if I was a boomer and I did not get a smart phone until I was 16, and before that it was a flip phone for important stuff. I can say it paid off in the long run because while I do ocassionally binge online for content to read, I always had the self control to not only put the device down if needed, and not get distracted. If you really can't go outside (Im sure all of you in the COVID lockdown generation can relate) get a few friends and start playing board games or hell, even Uno with special rules to up the ante. Not only it keeps you occupied it helps you socialize outside of the toxic cesspit that is social media. Its always entertaining to pull the uno reverse card on someone.
♥️ It sounds like your parents raised a thoughtful, intelligent young person and that they’re lucky to have you! I’m a millennial and feel so fortunate to have grown up reading for long hours, making art, and even just exploring the woods in my teens. Our parents took my brother and me to libraries before we could walk, and they loved it. Now that I rely on my phone for work, I feel how easy it is to become hooked to switching apps or tabs, even as an adult. I can’t imagine what that’s like for a child with a developing brain.
i grew up with an ipad, and yes, a lot of my interests revolve around gadgets (animation, gaming, video editing, 3d modelling) but i also like to make music and draw. A LOT. the problem i see here is not growing up with a gadget but not being exposed to anything else. i was exposed to cartoons at a very young age and now i love drawing and animation. even though i grew up with an ipad ever since i was 4 i loved to play outside and do other things because i was exposed to them. parents fault for not exposing their children to anything.
imagine how life is going to be after 20 years, i play lots of guitar, basketball and i play with my dog, i got younger siblings that does not even know how to dribble in basketball and does not play with my dog, this made me really sad as i thought my siblings would be better and be like me
6:37 As a 14 year old teen who has a sort of autism (and was raised like in the generation before, cuz my parents were very obs on this)im going in a smaller class where im getting better educated and have a bunch of friends. but recently in my town a lot of new houses has been build with many new families moving in, and cuz those social medias and screens are possesing these children to do worse mentally, our class got STACKED. and i was forced to move to a new class where i dont know anyone and im the youngest by far. im having difficulties connecting with my new classmates, and i dont even feel like i belong here. I really felt when you said that and could relate a whole lot. Good Video :)
14 years old here, very early Gen Alpha kid here. Kinda sucks to be categorized in the same generation as these iPad kids. We had a family iPad and I'm so glad I didn't spend hours on that thing, I spent at max 1-2 hours on the iPad, so glad my parents had limits like this unlike parents of little ones today.
One thing I realised watching this video is, I am an iPad Kid, just not with an iPad But with a PC See, I always hated iPad kids once I got to know about them.. but, after watching this video, I realised that even I have been doing stuff like these tantrums... I now realise how important it is to live life in my childhood and also be less addicted to my phone all day...
Late gen Z here. I had a iPad at a younger age, but I was limited to 20 minutes a day, and only had access to a few mobile games. Despite personally using the internet a good bit, even I know that this shit is serious. I still go outside, I still read. I don't let it entirely take over my life. Remember parents, limit screen time.
At 9 years my mom only let me and my sister watch not long and only in the evenings.I really agree that my generation is too addictive to screens and I will try to not watch too much.
I myself, a 12-year-old kid owns an iPad and I sometimes get bored and would sometimes go around the neighbourhood or play with my action figures. My parents don’t put away my iPad, I put it away myself.
I was 6 years old and have an iPad 4 but I was grateful that I play piano tiles 2 I reach 1k points I show to my mom she was happy when my iPad gone and I study math instant until now I have iPad 9th generation I play every rhythm understand their reaction and I can do math fast minus and plus except times and divide by Note: if I watch RUclips kids instant of play games that mean I would be greedy
I got a phone at 7 or something, and a few gadgets my parents passed down to me, so nothing new. But my parents knew how to balance fun on devices with health and socialising. I'm not glued to my phone never have been. I have social media, Instagram for example, but I don't spend HOURS scrolling mindlessly. My parents raised me well. I'm 14 BTW (born in 2010). I'm thankful my parents raised me well, and not spoilt. I was mostly outdoors with my brothers. I think kids NEED to learn to be independent, nice mannered, social and not filling their brains with junk
I’m a gen alpha, but I’m not really and iPad kid. Listen here for some tips my parents gave me when I got my first iPad at 9, 1 put only 30min of screen time on social media 2 watch what your kids watch 3 put screen time for 2hr max These tips really helped my addiction and at 12yrs old I’m surprisly not addicted to electronics
I was born in 2010. I was given an iPad when I was 4 years old, but I was very limited in its use, only one day (or rather Saturday) to use it, on the other days I was just in kindergarten and spending my time with friends. When I turned 9, my parents had already lifted this restriction, but even now they still control my time spent on the phone.
Same got a phone at like 6 years old i used to have a limit when i was under 10 but after that as long as i study well there really isnt a limit but no way that i will scream like that
Same here bro, even though I am using my iPad at 13, I’m still helpful around the house, and my screen time is 2-3 hours on holidays(like rn), I think I’m better than most kids in my school when it comes to addiction with these stupid iPads😂
As a gen alpha I can write and read because I limit my time doing other things, these kids can’t spell because they just shorten every word while I spend the time write it correctly. Because someone in my school spelt which wrong on an essay.
As a late gen z, i could see the huge differences between the late and mid, all i remember kids back then, their always play football, tag, whatever physical games you could've think of, I miss those good ol' days, and its rarely to see those kind of kids nowdays.
Honestly, this trend has been around since the 2000s its like taking a toy away from a kid, like literally they are gonna have a shit reaction, and YES YOUA RE GOING TO SEE THE WORST BECAUSE IT IS THE internet
I grew up with an electric device and I still had a normal lives like going outside, read, draw, etc. My opinion I think it’s more of the parents fault too kinda
I am 12 years old right now and see this as a big problem in alot of people. Some kids don't even interact with anyone, I really hope that they realise how odd they are AND the slang is also quite bad. They also fail to correctly spell but are posting their own content already. I hope that the next generation will be better😔
I'm gen z, and I've talked to people about this situation. It's possible that this is just typical generational panic, but it does seem a lot worse than before, in regards to the illiteracy stuff. But technology is not going to stop developing anytime soon, and frankly there's little to do in order to prevent it. If you think it's bad now, it'll probably be a lot worse in the next generations. The chances are we will be fine despite inability to learn at this crucial time in one's life. At the end of the day, these children are children, and therefore anger, crying, tantrums, etc are to be expect (it is very concerning that they are at such a high amplitute thou) And I do speak from experience, as I too, grew up with a screen from a younger age, as did my brother, who is now starting college soon. I definitely had some resemblence to these kids (not nearly as bad though) but now that I'm older I feel so silly knowing that it was once me. Obviously, there's a large difference, because schools was always easy for me and whatnot. What I'm trying to say is that this is concerning, but should not be feared about or considered as "our doom," and generational panic is definitely a factor here. Every generation has feared the next after all.
2010 here, (late Gen Z) and this is the real reason why Im concerned with kids nowadays. They literally just got an ipad at the age of 3 and their attention spans literally went a downfall. I got an ipad when I was 4, and literally I only play PVZ, and watch DanTDM and PopularMMOs that time. I still play toys afterwards
One time, I was walking through one of those types of outdoor malls and I saw a 5 year old girl with an iPhone 14 pro max, and yes, it was her own phone
I was born in 2009 Raised with discipline. i was raised at a peaceful time and learning to speak, my parents took me to the park and had fun. I was learning my favorite sport basketball. When growing up and learned how to controlled my emotions i looked back how my dad taught me well about controlling my emotions and taking my phone away very well i feel bad for the kids who kept going through this stuff. I bet there gonna regret it when growing up like me. Its just.... sad
This news is very heartbreaking. I am also a kid, but I was not raised with an iPad. I was raised on a farm, but it is so heartbreaking to see the sum of this will be basically the future of humanity.😊
I am 2012 but I don’t scream at my parents and sometimes I get bullied that I am gen alpha and there are kids who are screaming in my bus and then I say please stay quiet and stop screaming, the elders like 9th and 10th grade say “ur the same generation as them so there is no point”. Btw I didn’t even get my iPad at 4 I first saw it when I was 9 but my bro was using it so I used the iPad when I was 10

I’m an older sister and I’m SO glad I watched this video before any thing happens to my siblings. they are having a normal childhood rn. I’m so sorry for everyone who wants to make a difference but is already too late 😢😢
I've been glued to the screen since covid like everyone else, and I'm a teenager. But I before I became a teen I wasn't raised with easy access to technology. I'm so glad for that and I'm glad my parents are forcing me to engage with others. We all need to become less attached to our phones.
Bro in the 2010s I didn’t have a IPad and a phone I grew up with a Tv. I got a tablet at the age of 5 and never acted likes this. Now my baby brother is getting a bit too addicted and his starting to act like this :(
Same bro I was born in 2011 I didn’t have an IPad or phone I also grew up using an old tv when I was like 6 I got a tablet but I didn’t use it much but I have an iPad now witch I got a few years ago but I also don’t act like this thank god
I was born in 2009 and I used to have a Android tablet (untill 2018 cuz somebody robbed my tablet) and after that, I felt better about myself but yea I also grew up with my old tv which I watched nostragic cartoons from the 80s :)
Im 12 years old and I'm a genZ, I used to have phone addiction myself but then my parents installed an app called "family link" for screen time limit. Now I stopped being on my phone for such long time, my screen time went from 8 hours to 2 even though I'm currently grounded and my parents have my phone and I can say that this has helped me get my grades up, learn Japanese, dance and sing better (even though I still want my phone back ._.) . However, the blame goes to the parents not to the kids
I’m a Gen Z and I played with toys as a little child. I started using a tablet at 5 and I went outside often, which is what I like to do, I like going outside to go to places.
back in my day in the early to mid 2010s me my little brother and my cousins grew up on nerf guns and hide and seek games and Minecraft the real world and technology was 50/50 NOT A 80/20 Edit i was born in 2010 and most of my cousin
This is exactly why I’m never raising my kids with iPads if I even have any kids at all. I’m lucky to be raised by parents who knew just how dangerous the technology was. I sometimes hear from students in my school that they wouldn’t even want to read three pages out of a book. It’s truly heartbreaking to watch.
Now that there’s so much research and internet nowadays, there’s no excuse to still hit your kids. In the older days when there wasn’t music research on child mental health it was reasonable, still bad. But nowadays there’s no excuse to spank your kids IMO. There’s so many articles that go into detail about how damaging it is on the long run. Call me sensitive or whatever but corporal punishment is not much better.
I’m an early alpha or aka youngest of gen z and Im so happy I got my first very tablet which was very low qualified for my online classes only . Otherwise I just watch tv or I saw dvd . I just got my iPad forcefully at this mature age but these gen alphas at 4 !!!!! And I don’t even dare to shout or do that to my parents for ‘ taking my phone away ‘ ….. dude this has to really stop .
@@willdavis2005 Mmm. That comes from an unreliable outdated source called McCrindle so I don’t prefer that. 2007 kids are not zalpha and they would be if we were using that range. Pew isn’t all that great either but at least the starting and end dates are somewhat reasonable.
@@TheOGig00o Depending on the source, you can find 2010 or 2012. Usually 2010 since that was literally when iPads came out. However, I can understand kids born between 2010-2012 preferring to be labeled as Gen Z to get away from association with iPad kids 🤣
I also feel personally that there is a BIG difference between "screen time as a replacement parent" and "moderated screen time we do together." For example, my niece is Gen Alpha and is allowed to play with an iPad, but she is only allowed to play two-person games with a parent. If they watch TV, they watch as a family and talk about the episode after. These are good bonding activities using screens in moderation; my hope is that she grows up well and healthy!
My kids are simply not allowed near that thing. They are actually able to entertain them selves. But it’s very hard with other kids, when their parents just give them an iPad or phone to play with. Worse then that it’s like there are basicly no rules at all for them at home.
Born in late 2010, I’m glad I got to have memory of childhood before COVID and TikTok. I used to watch RUclips a lot, but the good side and stuff that gave me a better attention span. I also grew up with legos and outside stuff, so I got to remember being outside and more physical childhood memories
2006 here. I have a cousin who is from 2012, and as of right now, he hasn't been on Tiktok or such, but when I see him at family meetings, he's as asocial as me, asking for his mom's phone and just isolating in one of my grandma's guest rooms. I usually see him here for a while, though he sometimes tries to get away from it. Personally, I do hope, that he will not fall the same way as these kids.
I only got my laptop when I entered grade 7 because I needed it for school. Before that I never needed any devices. There is no point getting a kid a device unless they actually need it for something important. I was born in 2009 btw
I wished that I could enjoy life without my need for devices. I am born in 2010 and when pandemic hit I got a laptop for school. I played games on it and since the pandemic lasted a long time for me I played games daily... Now I only play during weekends and enjoy school and malls without games.

Thank you to all the young people commenting! It always breaks my heart when I see little kids glued to their phones in public places, like restaurants or even on sidewalks. Some parents use technology as a baby sitter, but unlike a loving and compassionate baby sitter, phone won’t teach a child any of these emotional values properly. That was the motivation behind this video! Please remember to support this channel and subscribe. Much appreciated!

I’m a late Gen Z, pushing Zalpha and alpha (September 2008). Unlike most of the older Gen Z’s I was born into the internet and had an iPad since I was a toddler just like Gen Alpha so I’m basically an iPad kid (Gen A in all but name). I also have a sister who’s a full Gen Alpha. So I feel qualified to say that: Gen Alpha is NOT doomed.
Ya’ll are seriously overreacting about this generation. Have you noticed that every single generation thus far has been criticized by older people just as they were rising?
In the 1960s, Boomers were criticized as “overly naive hippies” who would destroy the world with their radical ideas. In the 1980s/90s, Gen X was criticized for being uncultured, unruly and overall “slackers”. In the 2000s/2010s, Millennials were criticized for being “Lazy and entitled” and too reliant on the internet. In late 2010s/early 2020s, Gen Z was criticized for being “chronically online, stupid and disgusting” and was told they wouldn’t have a future. Now in 2024, Gen Alpha (who hasn’t even gotten on its feet yet) is being criticized for being glued to their IPads and overall brain dead and are being told, once again, that they have no future. Have you noticed something else, all of these generations were fine in the end.
Stop. Bullying. Gen Alpha. Let’s be the ones that end the inter generational bullying that’s gone on for so long.
Finally! Someone who agrees that all this Gen alpha bashing is completely unfounded garbage. Thank you!
Finally, thanks.

But I also read a LOT of books, played outside, pretended to be a doctor or a poor princess who got kicked out of the kingdom and left to starve, doodled, and other fun activities.
I-pads aren't the main problem.
They can be a good way to learn and have fun under good management.
The problem is what you do with it and whether you do other things or not.

When I grew up, having internet in the household was a luxury. Surfing was paid for by the minute, and kids could not surf more than 2 hours a week without the phone bill going through the roof. We rang each other's doors, played ding dong ditch, and made snowmen in the winter. Our entertainment was listening to the radio, play Nintendo NES and swimming in the forest.

Early gen Alpha here (2011). These parents are absolutely TERRIBLE at parenting for letting their kids have an iPad, EVEN before the age of 3. That is just mental to think about. To be fair, I also used technology at a very young age, but it was heavily monitored so this outcome wouldn't have happened. I've also decided to have RUclips as my only social media and to not watch short-form content, which really has paid off. Gen Alpha kids aren't really messed up in the country I live in though, which is just because they have GOOD PARENTING. Thanks for reading this rant though, have a great day :)
in my country (🇲🇽) no gen alpha kid is messed up, but i moved to america like 6 years ago.

Im also early gen alpha and I do not act like this lol. I only started watching short-form content until I was in 5th grade or so and I actually do really well in school. My parents ( also me) are Hispanic and im pretty sure this only happens in america.

I never even liked shorts or TikTok
I'm Gen Z (1998). I used to play outside with the other kids at a playground and enjoy a lot of fun activities in school. My parents bought toys at Toys R Us, I played mostly with dolls and stuffed animals, play at the indoor playground at Burger King and McDonald's, they also gave us toys as well, play with board games and some puzzles, read books, coloring books, and played with the cat and dog. I began using the Internet since 2007. Since then, I have spent many hours a day online on my computer. I've always been told that you have to go out and meet people. I'm 26 now, and need less electronic devices, avoid screen time, and be much more in-person with how life used to be. This is what every human being wants: peace and friendship, interactions with people (face-to-face), rather than social media or technology. "Let them go outside and touch grass, let them have the same rich childhood you had." is where I completely agree. Hopefully, I wish you all the best in everything, my friends. Be blessed and have a wonderful day. 🙏❤

I met my first cousin once removed 3 years ago, we were at a house near a lake for vacation as a family. She was like 10 years old and she didn't detached from her phone. I was happy to see the stars at night, since in the city we cannot see them and I had spent my chilhood looking at the stars. There was a meteor shower that weekend and when we finally managed to see a shooting star we got excited, my cousin got curious and asked what was happening, we explained to her and guess what she did.... SHE DOWNLOADED AN APP TO TRY TO SEE THE SHOOTING STARS AND EVEN TURNED THE FLASHLIGHT ON.
I was sooooo in shock that she didn't know something that basic at that age. I immediately tried explaining to her about light pollution but I really don't know if she actually retained the information, she just didn't seem attentive most of the time.

It hurts to see kids glued like this. I’m a 17year old babysitter and one kid I was babysitting hit me in the eye when I took away his tablet. These kids are insane.
Omg I'm so sorry for what happened to you 😞
WTF ARE YOU OK!?

Same im 17 but not a baby sitter cus that job sucks ass but honestly do most kids act like that with a ipad i dont think all kids act like that even for my classmates they scroll on tiktok all the time which gen z would do even my cousin does that its not just gen alpha gen z also have that problem
My gen Z brother goes absolutely INSANE when my mom takes his phone away when its past his bedtime. It's not just gen alpha

I have two 3 year old cousins, and it's heartbreaking to see them glued to their devices, acting abnormal without them.

Oh my gooooddd, same here bro, I’m born in 2010, and i definitely really relate to this.
I honestly think that Covid had something to do given the fact that these kids were cooped up in a house for at least few years. They were exposed to nothing but screens and didn’t get to experience the same childhood we all had.
almost sounds like a conspiracy theory...

Actually, a got theory not gonna lie.
Single mothers raise the best children

As an 11-year-old Gen A, I'm happy to say I am not one of these kids. I would rather play with my friends in real life than be on screens all day. I do own a MacBook and a phone but that's it. These parents should care more about them. Good vid! Thanks for bringing awareness for this situation
Gen Z : 1997-2012
Gen Alpha: 2013-now
Honestly parents should raise their kids like how Matthew Patrick and Stephanie are raising their son, Oliver Patrick/ Ollie, this boy only gets half an hour/ less of screen time and not even every day and what does he spend it on? Khan academy kids (which is an app that helps kids learn). He is an adorable, healthy kid that doesn’t watch RUclips, only TV shows and has gotten his first IPad at the age of three and he has not been consistent with using it and they only gave him 30 minutes and it was all for educational learning. They truly are amazing parents.
my parents don't let me have a phone or iPad I only get my playstation after I finish my home work even then I only get. 2 hours
I like how you use Matpat, and his wife Stephanie as an example, not only because Matpat and Steph are well known for their intelligence and research, they are also known for having recently left games theory to focus on their kid.
Mostly I do my homework and then I spend llike the rest of my day playing on my computer not taking breaks. Tho sometimes I ask myself "is there something wrong with me?"
cuz its mattpatt he probaby theorized it
not only that, they also make him play good games and good toys to spark his imagination so he can grow up as an adult and innovate, which is very good of them
'99 kid here. I used to play outside, play with legos mostly, sometimes other toys. Smartphones arrived massively when I was 12 and that's when everyone started using their phones a little too much. Life seemed much more joyful before smartphones and portable social media.

@@reiddavidson I have experienced childhood of playing with friends, no smartphones in the way. Then there came teenagehood along with smartphones. Thats when I was mostly being with myself and my smarthpone. I can 200% confirm that indeed all the kids who grew up on smartphones/iPads and such have missed out on lots of proper childhood experience and fun. Teenagehood was depressing for me. Everyone stopped hanging out and closed themselves within the doors, so consequently did I.
Oh my goodness. That part towards the end with the video stating that 5 year old girls are TWERKING is beyond sad, disgusting, and messed up. I feel so bad that these children are being raised by parents who won't stand up and take these harmful devices away from them. My own sister is glued to an iPad and it makes me really upset. Nothing I say changes it."She's just tired, let her play for a while!" and she ends up playing all night, and sleeping way later than she did before. It's horrifying. These devices shouldn't be in little kids' hands. These children won't be able to think back on memories of playing with their friends or family outside, or going to a theme park or ANYTHING from the real world. All that will be remembered is the iPad and disturbing content they viewed on it. Save gen alpha, please.

2006 kid here, I was raised in a very heavy electronic household. My dad is an IT guy and was an avid Gen-X gamer, so naturally I also had my hands on several devices. I’d play a lot of games on the PS3 or Xbox 360, or sometimes I’d watch my Dad play, and other times we’d play together. But along with that, I also had access to an iPad, an iPod, a whole desktop computer, and the TV.
It’s really upsetting seeing these kids essentially depend on the iPad, all ‘cause their parents don’t wanna parent. I could never imagine throwing a tantrum if my electronics were taken away. I’d probably tear up a bit and just lay down somewhere trying to relax myself and deal with the punishment by drawing. One time I was banned from having RUclips for 2 weeks, so I spent that time watching movies, playing games, drawing, and hanging out with my brother instead.
Usually, videos like these would discourage people from having kids. But if anything, this video makes me want to have a kid and raise them in a similar way to how I was raised. Electronics are okay as long as they don’t consume a kid’s life. Make sure to monitor what it is your kids watch, and spend some theme with them if they’re playing a game.
For anyone curious and wanted more details as to the specifics of my childhood life. I’d spend a lot of time watching RUclips or playing any Shark-related mobile game I could find. But the videos I’d watch were never true brain-rot like the content for the kids of today. They were classic late 2000s and early 2010s Let’s Plays and were very relaxed in nature. No constant jump cuts, no extreme edits, no bright colors, no meme sounds, just the player and the game, and I loved it a lot (thanks Chuggaaconroy). I’d also love watching plush videos (SML, Spindashpro, CuteMarioBros, etc), Top 10 lists, animations, or Tributes to Prehistoric Animals while Three Days Grace plays in the background. But if I’m not watching RUclips, then I was likely watching Nickelodeon shows.
I also loved games as well. I’d be playing games for a younger audience like Ratchet & Clank, Sonic, LittleBigPlanet, Toy Story 3 (GOATed), Rayman, Minecraft, etc. And when I wasn’t playing, I’d be watching my Dad play more adult games like Dead Space, Infamous, God of War, Bioshock, and more. So even if I played games, my Dad still found a way to get a father-son bonding experience out of it, and would even play some of the multiplayer games together, or do the classic “it’s my turn when you die” routine for the single player games. Though he never let me play any game beyond “T for Teen” for obvious reasons. Except Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse though. For some reason my Dad was really okay with me and my brother watching Family Guy, even if my Mom wasn’t too fond of it (God forbid Lois say “sex on TV” when my Mom was present). I guess Family Guy is one of the more tame adult shows, since most jokes would’ve gone over the heads of kids like me and my brother.
In spite of this, I also loved playing with toys as well. Me and my little brother (3/19/2009, today is actually his birthday) would always make up stories of our plushies going on these wild adventures. Sometimes influenced by the videos we may have watched while wearing headphones. If my Mom heard any swearing, she’d tell me to switch the video. And while I may have gotten around it at times, I was never disrespectful to my parents by cussing them out or anything, since I knew that was wrong and I’d be punished for it.
Not to mention how much fun I had talking with my friends at school about Minecraft or just general things about games. Very awkward trying to explain what “Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace” was to a bunch of other 7-year olds though.
So many words😮💨 also great childhood
some years ago, when i was ten, i had to study for an important test for half a year, and i wasn't allowed to watch youtube for that whole time. i went through without complaining, and doing proper child things (other than studying) to cure boredom. i also can't imagine throwing such a big tantrum just because i couldn't use electronics, and it's really sad

I am so thankful I was born in 1981. I grew up without all if this mess. Had my first Nokia phone in 2000 when I started college. No Internet on my phone. Just basic calls. Basic texts. Society has really gone downhill since those days
'89 here, got my first Nokia in 2005 which only worked in town, didn't get internet until 2009 when I moved out of home (no internet or mobile reception where I grew up, just a landline phone and satellite for TV, the area still didn't get internet until Starlink was launched, there was Skymuster satellite but it was useless.) Glad I grew up with just the basics.
GenZ undergrad here. My parents raised me as if I was a boomer and I did not get a smart phone until I was 16, and before that it was a flip phone for important stuff. I can say it paid off in the long run because while I do ocassionally binge online for content to read, I always had the self control to not only put the device down if needed, and not get distracted. If you really can't go outside (Im sure all of you in the COVID lockdown generation can relate) get a few friends and start playing board games or hell, even Uno with special rules to up the ante. Not only it keeps you occupied it helps you socialize outside of the toxic cesspit that is social media.
Its always entertaining to pull the uno reverse card on someone.
♥️ It sounds like your parents raised a thoughtful, intelligent young person and that they’re lucky to have you!
I’m a millennial and feel so fortunate to have grown up reading for long hours, making art, and even just exploring the woods in my teens. Our parents took my brother and me to libraries before we could walk, and they loved it. Now that I rely on my phone for work, I feel how easy it is to become hooked to switching apps or tabs, even as an adult. I can’t imagine what that’s like for a child with a developing brain.
i grew up with an ipad, and yes, a lot of my interests revolve around gadgets (animation, gaming, video editing, 3d modelling) but i also like to make music and draw. A LOT. the problem i see here is not growing up with a gadget but not being exposed to anything else. i was exposed to cartoons at a very young age and now i love drawing and animation. even though i grew up with an ipad ever since i was 4 i loved to play outside and do other things because i was exposed to them. parents fault for not exposing their children to anything.

Late gen Z here. I had a iPad at a younger age, but I was limited to 20 minutes a day, and only had access to a few mobile games. Despite personally using the internet a good bit, even I know that this shit is serious. I still go outside, I still read. I don't let it entirely take over my life. Remember parents, limit screen time.

I'm gen z, and I've talked to people about this situation. It's possible that this is just typical generational panic, but it does seem a lot worse than before, in regards to the illiteracy stuff. But technology is not going to stop developing anytime soon, and frankly there's little to do in order to prevent it. If you think it's bad now, it'll probably be a lot worse in the next generations. The chances are we will be fine despite inability to learn at this crucial time in one's life. At the end of the day, these children are children, and therefore anger, crying, tantrums, etc are to be expect (it is very concerning that they are at such a high amplitute thou)
And I do speak from experience, as I too, grew up with a screen from a younger age, as did my brother, who is now starting college soon. I definitely had some resemblence to these kids (not nearly as bad though) but now that I'm older I feel so silly knowing that it was once me. Obviously, there's a large difference, because schools was always easy for me and whatnot.
What I'm trying to say is that this is concerning, but should not be feared about or considered as "our doom," and generational panic is definitely a factor here. Every generation has feared the next after all.
2010 here, (late Gen Z) and this is the real reason why Im concerned with kids nowadays. They literally just got an ipad at the age of 3 and their attention spans literally went a downfall.
I got an ipad when I was 4, and literally I only play PVZ, and watch DanTDM and PopularMMOs that time. I still play toys afterwards
One time, I was walking through one of those types of outdoor malls and I saw a 5 year old girl with an iPhone 14 pro max, and yes, it was her own phone
2005, i had my first phone with 10 and i will not give my future children a phone before they reach atleast 10.
2000-2009 is actually Gen Z
Your early Gen Alpha 😢

I was born in 2009 Raised with discipline. i was raised at a peaceful time and learning to speak, my parents took me to the park and had fun. I was learning my favorite sport basketball. When growing up and learned how to controlled my emotions i looked back how my dad taught me well about controlling my emotions and taking my phone away very well i feel bad for the kids who kept going through this stuff. I bet there gonna regret it when growing up like me. Its just.... sad
This news is very heartbreaking. I am also a kid, but I was not raised with an iPad. I was raised on a farm, but it is so heartbreaking to see the sum of this will be basically the future of humanity.😊
I am 2012 but I don’t scream at my parents and sometimes I get bullied that I am gen alpha and there are kids who are screaming in my bus and then I say please stay quiet and stop screaming, the elders like 9th and 10th grade say “ur the same generation as them so there is no point”. Btw I didn’t even get my iPad at 4 I first saw it when I was 9 but my bro was using it so I used the iPad when I was 10

I’m an older sister and I’m SO glad I watched this video before any thing happens to my siblings. they are having a normal childhood rn. I’m so sorry for everyone who wants to make a difference but is already too late 😢😢
thats ok🥲
I've been glued to the screen since covid like everyone else, and I'm a teenager. But I before I became a teen I wasn't raised with easy access to technology. I'm so glad for that and I'm glad my parents are forcing me to engage with others. We all need to become less attached to our phones.
Am I the only gen alpha that don't scream when my ipad is away?
Nope ur not alone

Same here.
I don’t really care if my iPad is taken away. So you’re not alone
Bro in the 2010s I didn’t have a IPad and a phone I grew up with a Tv. I got a tablet at the age of 5 and never acted likes this. Now my baby brother is getting a bit too addicted and his starting to act like this :(
i love using family laptop take pictures sometime my parents get angry (win. 7)
Same bro,im really happy about it.i born in 2011,but get an tablet in 2016.and dont gonna lie,im happy to control
Same bro I was born in 2011 I didn’t have an IPad or phone I also grew up using an old tv when I was like 6 I got a tablet but I didn’t use it much but I have an iPad now witch I got a few years ago but I also don’t act like this thank god
I was born in 2009 and I used to have a Android tablet (untill 2018 cuz somebody robbed my tablet) and after that, I felt better about myself but yea I also grew up with my old tv which I watched nostragic cartoons from the 80s :)

Im 12 years old and I'm a genZ, I used to have phone addiction myself but then my parents installed an app called "family link" for screen time limit. Now I stopped being on my phone for such long time, my screen time went from 8 hours to 2 even though I'm currently grounded and my parents have my phone and I can say that this has helped me get my grades up, learn Japanese, dance and sing better (even though I still want my phone back ._.) . However, the blame goes to the parents not to the kids
I’m a Gen Z and I played with toys as a little child. I started using a tablet at 5 and I went outside often, which is what I like to do, I like going outside to go to places.
10:19 Let them Go outside and touch grass was one of the best Lines in this video…
I straight out laughed when I heard that
Even my student told me she couldn't live without her phone...
This is very dangerous as affecting both their physical & mental health
back in my day in the early to mid 2010s me my little brother and my cousins grew up on nerf guns and hide and seek games and Minecraft the real world and technology was 50/50 NOT A 80/20 Edit i was born in 2010 and most of my cousin
She probably saying it like it's a joke
@@NoName-eb3gh no, as she cried & screamed when her phone was confiscated by her father. I saw her reaction
@kusnovakusnova3819 oh she can't really survive without her phone
This is exactly why I’m never raising my kids with iPads if I even have any kids at all. I’m lucky to be raised by parents who knew just how dangerous the technology was. I sometimes hear from students in my school that they wouldn’t even want to read three pages out of a book. It’s truly heartbreaking to watch.
Man this is tuff dude this makes me so sad when I have kids one day they will not have this amount of time just wow
Who knew that bone shattering belt our father keep using for punishing our very soul as a kid would shape us into proper adult
Now that there’s so much research and internet nowadays, there’s no excuse to still hit your kids. In the older days when there wasn’t music research on child mental health it was reasonable, still bad. But nowadays there’s no excuse to spank your kids IMO. There’s so many articles that go into detail about how damaging it is on the long run. Call me sensitive or whatever but corporal punishment is not much better.
Yeah, no. Let's not beat children. That's some stone age nonsense.
@@nammitySpanking is definitely the way to go.
Growing up to be a teen and saying my finale goodbyes to Gen Alpha, im glad my parents gave me a devkce at this point in live and not when i was 8
I’m an early alpha or aka youngest of gen z and Im so happy I got my first very tablet which was very low qualified for my online classes only . Otherwise I just watch tv or I saw dvd . I just got my iPad forcefully at this mature age but these gen alphas at 4 !!!!! And I don’t even dare to shout or do that to my parents for ‘ taking my phone away ‘ ….. dude this has to really stop .
I did get one at 4 but same i would never be rude to my parents cuz they took away my ipad
I know right
That's the parents fault
I agree, but I had a old iPad, unlike these little children who have brand new ones
Yeah
I am gen alpha but I don’t act like that when my iPad is taken away and I am not glued to the screen
You can't call that age range gen alpha, I think it's 2013-present or 2012-present
early gen alpha isnt that bad id say around 2015-present is ipad kids most the time
im early gen alpha and im not like this
Gen alpha is 2010-present. But like the reply above says, the earlier ones aren’t iPad kids.
@@willdavis2005 ngl I seriously think it's 2013-present but a lot of ppl say 2010
@@willdavis2005 Mmm. That comes from an unreliable outdated source called McCrindle so I don’t prefer that. 2007 kids are not zalpha and they would be if we were using that range. Pew isn’t all that great either but at least the starting and end dates are somewhat reasonable.
@@TheOGig00o Depending on the source, you can find 2010 or 2012. Usually 2010 since that was literally when iPads came out. However, I can understand kids born between 2010-2012 preferring to be labeled as Gen Z to get away from association with iPad kids 🤣
I am actually worried about the upcoming gen 😨
Yeah we have to fix that right now
Or else the next generations gen beta will be doomed as well
They should make a system where a child cannot get a gadget unless older than 12 y/o
@@EC2421Mir nah atleast 15 yk
Just make sure to let them Have fun in the real world by the time they reach teen or adult years ye they can use the device
I also feel personally that there is a BIG difference between "screen time as a replacement parent" and "moderated screen time we do together." For example, my niece is Gen Alpha and is allowed to play with an iPad, but she is only allowed to play two-person games with a parent. If they watch TV, they watch as a family and talk about the episode after. These are good bonding activities using screens in moderation; my hope is that she grows up well and healthy!
My kids are simply not allowed near that thing. They are actually able to entertain them selves. But it’s very hard with other kids, when their parents just give them an iPad or phone to play with. Worse then that it’s like there are basicly no rules at all for them at home.
Born in late 2010, I’m glad I got to have memory of childhood before COVID and TikTok. I used to watch RUclips a lot, but the good side and stuff that gave me a better attention span. I also grew up with legos and outside stuff, so I got to remember being outside and more physical childhood memories
me too and I'm 2013
Same
2006 here. I have a cousin who is from 2012, and as of right now, he hasn't been on Tiktok or such, but when I see him at family meetings, he's as asocial as me, asking for his mom's phone and just isolating in one of my grandma's guest rooms.
I usually see him here for a while, though he sometimes tries to get away from it. Personally, I do hope, that he will not fall the same way as these kids.
Same
I only got my laptop when I entered grade 7 because I needed it for school. Before that I never needed any devices. There is no point getting a kid a device unless they actually need it for something important. I was born in 2009 btw
Same bro I was also born in 2009 and my parents also got me an ipad just because I need it for school.
I wished that I could enjoy life without my need for devices. I am born in 2010 and when pandemic hit I got a laptop for school. I played games on it and since the pandemic lasted a long time for me I played games daily...
Now I only play during weekends and enjoy school and malls without games.
As a gen alpha kid, I played with toys. Yes, toys. I played outside. I TOUCHED FRICKIN GRASS 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
