π± Impact of Technology on Gen Alpha
The first paragraph discusses the influence of technology on Generation Alpha, individuals born between 2010 and 2025. It highlights the obsession of young children with beauty products and the reliance on digital devices, especially iPads, as a form of parenting. The script mentions the potential negative effects of this dependence, such as digital addiction and behavioral issues when devices are taken away. It provides an example of a child's extreme tantrum on an airplane when his iPad was confiscated, illustrating the depth of attachment to these devices. The paragraph suggests that the internet and screen time are significantly shaping this generation's development, with concerns about their future impact and the possibility of a 'doomed' generation.
π§ Internet Influence and 'Brain Rot' Content
The second paragraph delves into the concept of 'internet brain rot,' which describes individuals who are overly engrossed in digital content to the point of lacking proper socialization. It criticizes the type of content popular among Gen Alpha, such as 'skibbidy toilet,' a YouTube series with hyper-stimulating visuals and fast-paced changes designed to captivate young audiences. The paragraph raises concerns about the show's potential to reduce children's attention spans and patience, leading to educational and developmental issues. It also discusses the controversy surrounding 'Cocomelon,' another children's show, and its overstimulating nature, which some believe could be detrimental to early childhood development.
π Declining Academic Performance and Screen Addiction
This paragraph addresses the perceived decline in academic performance among Gen Alpha due to excessive screen time and internet dependence. It suggests that children are struggling with basic literacy and comprehension skills, with teachers expressing concern about their students' abilities. The script mentions the use of AI tools for cheating and the lack of discipline in education, which may contribute to poor behavior and learning outcomes.

π Materialism and Social Media's Influence on Gen Alpha

It discusses the phenomenon of children desiring expensive products like the 'Stanley Cup' and the negative consequences of not being able to afford such items, including bullying. The script also addresses the trend of young children shopping for beauty products, such as those from Sephora and the brand 'Drunk Elephant,' which may not be age-appropriate.

said to become the most populated
generation in history with over 2.8
million kids born every week they follow
genen and are the children of the
millennial generation although a gen
Alpha is populating a large amount of
society why do other Generations think
there's no hope for this generation with
countless cases of kids acting out in
public lashing out and behaving
erratically many believe the Gen Alpha
is already ruined you see babies and
toddlers often throwing temper tantrums
the second their smart devices are taken
away and teachers are begging parents to
do something because their kids barely
scrape by in school time and time again
we hear about just how doomed gen Alpha
is but where are these horror stories
coming from from and what makes gen
Alpha so different from all the
generations before them the short answer
the internet the rise of iPad kids when
you think of a kid in today's day and
age how do you picture them most of you
probably had an image of a kid with an
iPad in their hands right that's because
gen Alpha is not only the youngest
generation but also the most
technologically dependent one generation
Alpha was raised by screens whether by
TV a computer or the infamous iPad with
almost 80% of kids owning an iPad or
another version of a tablet you can't
deny the nickname that many call this
generation iPad kids this is what
happens when Mom and Dad take away an
iPad from 2-year-old Ashlin
[Music]
Brooks since their creation iPads have
been used as a tool for parents who are
simply too busy with work technology has
proven to be a hassle fore way of
keeping kids occupied whether at public
places social events or just during the
day-to-day with iPads being an evolved
version of parenting in the 20th century
screens are simply considered the new
nanny and although parents May benefit
from relaxing after work iPads could be
doing more harm than good it's gotten to
a point where gen Alpha is entirely
relying on their devices growing a
digital addiction that they cannot seem
to stop in 2012 a 3-year-old boy was
kicked off an Alaskan an Airlines flight
from Seattle because of the extreme
temper tantrum he threw after getting
his iPad taken away the kid had been
playing with a tablet before takeoff but
when planes Ascend all devices were
asked to be turned off and this one iPad
was no exception but when flight
attendants tried to get the kid to turn
his tablet off he started to wreak havoc
the child began a raging Outburst
hitting his head against the roof of the
plane and desperately begging for his
tablet back his family tried to calm him
down and buckle him in so that they
could take off but no one was able to
control them things got so bad that the
pilot had to turn the entire plane
around on the runway the boy and his
entire family was escorted off the
flight causing them to miss their
vacation to St Martin island and this
was over 10 years ago at the start of
the iPad kids generation since then gen
Alpha has grown more attached to their
devices social media has become a part
of their day-to-day routines for Better
or For Worse and it's caused kids to
become addicted to the internet in the
state home crisis that happened in 2020
only made things worse kids were locked
in doors and were unable to get any sort
of social interaction from other peers
or teachers gen Alpha was treating
technology like a full-time job devoting
40 hours a week to using it with social
media being accessible to anyone
internet usage was at an all-time high
they couldn't go out to play because of
restrictions so the only way they could
get any form of contact with the outside
world was through their devices gen
Alpha was going through a critical
development phases during the
stay-at-home crisis the online world
became their new reality because it was
all they knew and considering the sort
of horrible stuff that we have access to
online this is concerning technology
usage on its own isn't necessarily a bad
thing it's the content that's being
consumed that's the real perpetrator
parents may think that they know what
their kids are watching online but
sometimes things aren't what they seem
even in videos supposedly made for kids
internet brain rot you might have heard
of the term brain rot popularized by
social media brain rot is the term that
internet users have created to describe
those lacking proper socialization and
are obsessed with digital content to an
unhealthy level God bro gen Alpha
content is some of the most incoherent
brain dead I've ever seen in my life
okay like I can physically feel my brain
cells frying every second I spent
watching them level 100 guat ice spice r
w r guat you've Gat to be rising me in
Ohio at 3:00 a.m. when you think about
brain rot gen Alpha tends to be the
usual demographic that comes to mind
that's because the internet has been
their primary means of interaction with
the world since they were born brain
Rock content can also be identified by
the constant usage of internet's slang
overly bright colors and attention
grabbing content that switches every few
seconds a key example is popular kids
media like skibbidy toilet that seem to
capitalize on gen Alpha's decreasing
attention span by overwhelming them with
Hyper stimulating content skibby toilet
is a web series on YouTube that features
a variety of models from games like
Gary's mod and Counterstrike as they
battle in a raging War the two sides are
singing Human headed toilets which are
called skibby toilets and humanoids who
have human bodies but items as their
heads like cameras or TVs the series was
created by a man named Alexi gasimov the
first premiered on YouTube in February
of 2023 since the first episode was
released the channel had gained over
40.6 million subscribers and has over 15
billion views today each episode
features the skibby toilets and other
characters engaged in fullon conflicts
animated in the most obscure and
dramatic ways there's never a dull
moment in the videos which to gen Alpha
is the exciting part on the surface
level this might just seem like out of
the box wacky content for kids but the
harsh reality of it is that skibby
toilet could be damaging to children
with a constant overstimulating content
kids get used to hyperactivity making
everything else feel mundane this can
cause IR ability a low attention span
and a lack of patience since kids are
now so used to hypers stimulation
parents have long since been concerned
with whether or not skibby toilet is
appropriate for the kids to watch and it
even got to a point where Russian
authorities had to get involved to
investigate the show a Moscow man
concerned over skibbidy toilets
detrimental effects on children asked
the police to block the videos from the
internet to prevent kids from watching
it this investigation has gotten mixed
opinions so far with some claiming that
getting the police involved over a kids
series is ridiculous other parents also
echoed the same concerns believing that
skibbidy toilet may be doing more harm
than good while there's still no
conclusive answer as to whether or not
the series is negatively affecting
children this form of hyper stimulating
media has become a growing trend for Gen
Alpha parents are becoming increasingly
worried that their kids are becoming
like zombies because of this kind of
content another popular kid show is Coco
melon which is usually targeted toward
babies and younger children Coco melon
has become one of the most famous kid
shows and has been a go-to entertainment
source for parents to show their kids
but in recent months the once favorable
reputation of Coco melon has completely
shifted because now parents are starting
to discover a correlation between their
kids' behavioral issues and the show on
December 26th 2021 Tik Tok User it's
Mama Bell posted a video that raised
some serious concerns about Coco melon
the text on the video said that she had
just SW switched from showing her kids
Coco melon to a YouTuber called Miss
Rachel and the prior to switching her
children would just sit in front of the
TV like zombies in the comments
countless moms agreed with her saying
that Miss Rachel who is a YouTuber who
focuses on educational content was much
more beneficial for their kids more and
more parents realized that their kids
were becoming addicted to Coco melon to
the point where they wouldn't be able to
move away from the screen and they
weren't learning anything from the show
either the show focused solely on
keeping the children attention with
bright colors repetitive songs and fast
jump Cuts all of which are tactics that
the show uses to keep kids hooked let's
see how many seconds it takes for each
one of these scenes to change 1 2 3 1 2
1 2 3 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 one this
epidemic of over stimulation can be
compared to the feeling that you get
from substance es hence why Coco melon
is so addictive to children and it's not
just random ticktockers that have said
this actual childhood experts have
chimed in agreeing that Coco melon is
too overstimulating for kids which can
lead to addiction cocomelon Watchers are
usually between ages 2 and five which
are critical years when it comes to
early childhood development this is the
time when kids are developing language
creativity and social skills and shows
like Coco melon have possibly only made
these tasks more difficult and not to
mention the bbing influx of elate
content that's taken over all of the
kid-friendly platforms and I have a
whole separate video of that that you
can watch all of this inappropriate
content not only has caused concern for
Gen Alpha parents but also for teachers
as well because not only are kids
becoming more addicted to screens but
they're also doing much worse in school
the Dumber
generation it's a common theme in social
media for people to say that gen Alpha
is considered one of the Dumber
Generations the more kids kids become
addicted to their screens the harder it
is for them to live a life away from it
that includes during school hours it's
as if kids are having a harder time
paying attention likely because the
internet may be conditioning their
brains to Shorter content hence a
shorter attention span teachers around
the world have been going viral on Tik
Tok after sharing just how concerned
they are about the educational
development of their gen Alpha students
theyve said that students are now
reading and writing at several grade
levels behind with a large majority of
kids being unable to understand basic
literacy spelling and grammar um this
eighth grade kid cannot spell could not
spell a single word correctly on his
list eighth grade Tik Tok user Q ski is
an elementary school teacher from
Atlanta Georgia who took to Tik Tok to
express his concern for the students in
his class he said that although he
teaches a seventh grade class many of
his students are nowhere near that level
of Education I teach seventh grade they
are still performing on the fourth grade
level a nobody talking about how they
just keep moving passing them on I can
put as many zeros in this Gradebook as I
want to they going to move that child to
the eighth grade next year this teacher
even stated that some of the students in
his class perform at kindergarten first
second and third grade levels even
though they're just 2 years away from
entering high school and he's not the
only teacher that feels this way and I
teach at one of the more affluent
schools when I tell you that these
babies cannot read they cannot not right
and they cannot comprehend I'm not being
funny I'm being dead serious when it
comes to high school kids it's not much
better because the Creator cool nce AKA
n said that her 10th and 11th grade
English students were only capable of
performing at a sixth or seventh grade
reading level despite being in their
upper years of high school and other
sources continue to claim that gen alpha
kids don't only have poor learning
skills they have poor Behavior too young
students misbehaving in the classroom is
become the new norm and when teachers
like n try to discipline them properly
it doesn't work out my principal told me
you can't do that in Georgia they have
completely taken discipline out of
education at this point especially in
Georgia you cannot use the grade book to
implement any kind of discipline or any
kind of enforcement with students and
that is going to be the ruin of our kids
but it's not just attention disorders
that are of fault here the internet has
also given gen Alpha a golden ticket
when it comes to cheating their way
through school chat GP AI tools like
chat GPT can easily help kids finish
their homework in seconds the shift has
reduced the emphasis on work ethic along
with valuable life skills like critical
thinking and communication without these
skills gen Alpha has become prone to all
sorts of influences because since they
are so conditioned to only look at the
surface level they take most of what
they see on social media as the truth
without researching for themselves and
questioning it everything they see
online is immediately taken as a fact
which is detrimental to these young
impressionable kids and companies are
taking advantage of this they're
targeting a demographic that they
shouldn't be kids the gullible
generation anywhere you go on the
internet you are destined to run into an
advertisement whether on the Tik Tok
shop or just casually scrolling on
social media marketing has evolved from
Billboards and newspapers to scrolling
on your phone adults are able to
understand what an organic piece of
content is versus a paid promotion but
young kids are less perceptive of this
they use viral Trends as guidelines for
what they should or should not like even
if it's not meant for them as kids
consume more online content including
advertising they being influenced to buy
products that are just not made for them
we see this happening all the time with
Gen Alpha especially due to the rising
influence of Tik Tok but they aren't
alone Millennials and older Generations
drive forward these Trends and make them
mainstream on social media one product
being the infamous Stanley Cup drawing
screams of
excitement and tears of joy this year's
hottest status symbol and most coveted
holiday gift I got a Stanley is the
Stanley Tumblr this Tumblr cup has
become the reason for multiple news
headlines and heavy in-person lines as
early as 4:00 a.m. and because it's so
popular people are willing to go to the
ends of the Earth to get one although
this is the new craze if you want to get
your hands on one it won't be cheap the
Stanley Tumblr will run you back around
$45 USD with limited edition cups
costing even more than that this cost is
pretty hefty for a water bottle and it's
definitely not one that everyone can
afford but there are consequences if you
can't pay for one Ohio mom Dana Motika
went viral on Tik Tok posting how her
99-year-old daughter was bullied for
bringing a less expensive lookalike to
school Dana had bought her daughter a
$10 Stanley lookalike from Walmart as a
gift for Christmas her daughter brought
the cup to school after Christmas break
only to come home upset because kids in
school were bullying her the sole reason
because her Stanley Cup was fake over
the break multiple girls in her grade
had gotten real Stanley Cups as presents
and they were quick to call out Dana's
daughter for her dup they said that hers
was not as cool and made fun of her
because of it to us it might seem wild
that a young girl is being bullied over
not having an expensive water bottle but
for Jen Alpha this is their new reality
gen Alpha has become possibly one of the
most materialistic Generations ever with
so much advertising being shown at their
young eyes these kids feel the need to
buy everything they see or face the fear
of not fitting in and it's not just
Stanley Cups that have proven this
earlier this year the beauty retailer
Sephora made headlines after multiple
story times about Sephora 10-year-olds
went viral on Tik Tok viral Clips have
been going around of kids going in
Sephora making a big mess during this
trend dozens of people fled Ed the Tik
Tok for you page with their own personal
horror stories with generation Alpha
Shoppers at the makeup store they
complained that the kids were rude and
had no respect for anyone or anything in
the store I'm in Sora right now and I'm
going to count how many 10-year-olds I
see 1 2 3 currently walking past a
10-year-old getting her eyebrows done 4
5 6 there's a whole group of them over
here kids as young as four were shopping
in the Isles of Sephora for expensive
beauty products that they clearly did
not need the reason behind it the
internet all she wants for the holidays
is well not toys but skin care products
all I wanted this year was skincare and
makeup social media has become gen
Alpha's go-to guide for how to live
their life whatever they see influencers
do they want to do whatever they see
influencers buy they want to buy with
every Beauty influencer on platforms
like Tik Tok and Instagram becoming
obsessed with skin care it was only
natural for Gen alpha kids to follow in
their footsteps but this can be a red
flag especially for parents as social
media sets a bad example for young girls
the Sephora kids trend is a prime
example these young girls do not need to
be spending hundreds of dollars on
beauty products that are targeted at
adults these products have chemicals and
ingredients that can be harmful to kids
especially the ones that have gone viral
online drunk elephant is the name on
every gen Alpha's tongue originally a
skincare brand meant for Millennials now
a larger portion of drunk elephant
consumer base consists of beauty
obsessed kids with products priced from
$20 to upwards of over
$100 this is definitely not a brand that
most kids can afford to buy at least
without the help of their parents but is
this really something that parents want
to be getting for their kids many of
these drunk elephant products contain
ingredients like peptides acids and
retinol which can all be damaging to
youthful skin retinol is a form of
vitamin A that's known for its
anti-aging effects with higher
concentrations being used to fight
wrinkles these kinds of high
concentrations are regularly found in
beauty products and are definitely not
meant for young girls but it's not only
physical health concerns the parents are
having about this growing obsession with
skincare and makeup it's also the Mental
effects too social media is doing this
and you know this could be setting up a
lot of young girls with issues that will
follow them well into adulthood young
girls are constantly being overwhelmed
with societal beauty standards and
everchanging Trends in F pass and beauty
and for Gen Alpha this pressure has only
increased with the influx of social
media influencers they look up to
influencers more than they do their own
parents but is this influence positive
or negative I'm
addicted gen Alpha is social media
obsessed it said that by the age of one
the average gen Alpha kid already has
over 100 pictures of them posted on
social media almost every gen Alpha kid
is on social media it's their main form
of communication with their friends and
where they get the latest news but their
social media screen time is often
unregulated by parents so there's no
telling what these gen alpha kids are
watching on their devices and that's the
scary part although most social media
platforms have age restrictions or
content guidelines kids can easily
bypass them just by lying about their
age and regardless if the platform is
meant for younger audiences anyone can
break the rules by posting inappropriate
content anyway Tik Tok the most popular
platform for Gen Alpha is a mish mash of
all different sorts of content the for
you page throws a bunch of different
videos together in an endless scroll
showing users the type of content that
they like as well as new content that
they've never seen before one of the
most common trends that you can find on
social media is thirst trapping this
form of content is meant to attract
attention from viewers usually in the
form of posing dancing or acting
seductively although the nature of this
content is meant for a much older
audience there's a ton of kids
participating in these Trends without
realizing its implications it's become
more and more common to see a gen Alpha
kid dressed up in revealing clothing
making thirst trap content which in
itself is already unsettling but not to
mention there's no telling who's
watching or saving this content online
which can leave them vulnerable to a
certain audience that may have other
intentions with the influx of of
promotions adult content is becoming
more accessible with social media
heavily influencing young people it's
become come difficult for them to see
the importance of real relationships one
in four children go outside to play
nowadays missing crucial social
interactions most of janala spends their
time indoors consuming media meant for
adults the severe dopamine addictions
from internet platforms like Tik Tok
have resulted in negative effects on
younger Generations as simple as
enjoying their day-to-day life kids no
longer have the patients for anything
because they're so used to the instant
gratification that social media provides
them kids can't do simple everyday tasks
like brushing their teeth eating food or
using the restroom without the constant
stimulation of a screen gen Alpha
becomes impatient and frustrated at the
drop of a hat with even the smallest
inconveniences getting blown out of
proportion turning into full Tantrums or
breakdowns with most of their learning
coming from the internet they're being
exposed to horrible behavior from those
entitled influencers that they see
online and when you look at the biggest
influencers now who FL the opulent
Lifestyles and endorse things like only
fans are these really the people you
want raising your children now the
question is is Generation Alpha really
doomed I've talked a lot about the
problems of genalpha but there are still
many strengths that they have genalpha
has access to more resources knowledge
and tools than ever before they're
living in an exciting time with
technology advancing at such a rapid
pace and them being so adaptable to it
if they're able to use the internet for
good rather than bad they can become
some of the most intelligent people on
the the planet and they're also born
with empathy inside them the future can
be bright for Gen Alpha all they need is
a little guidance and a push in the
right direction we as people who care
can monitor what our siblings are doing
on social media and as adults we can
teach our kids the value of hard work
