    I have a book titled “Generation Doof” (Generation Stupid), and yes, this book got it right.

    I’m afraid that most people under 30 would simply cease to function if the internet suddenly went away.

        Many people would, but I think I could rig something to have a sufficient amount of power in the house.

        I can still read books and manuals, and i do have those books and manuals in paper form.

          and you think youre special? most people who cant read shit on paper cant read it on the internet. “reading books, and manuals in paper format” doesnt take that much brain power

            I’ve noticed no one has books anymore though. I used to be able to go to peoples houses, look at their bookcase, and learn lots about them. No one has bookcases full of books on display anymore except really old people. Even our library has been mostly emptied and has maybe a fifth of the number of books it used to have. I have no idea where all those book went.
