Future laptop CEOs right there

The Ghost of Tom Joad · 02-03-2012, 05:25 PM

i'm scared shitless of the future generation. every year, they seem to get progressively worse. apathy is at an all time high.

infinitekidM2C · 02-03-2012, 05:28 PM

the average level of intelligence is scary and getting scarier

hahaha; sneaky asian kid's answer when they were asked from which war we gained our independence "i was never taught that knowledge" - yeah blame it on the school system..(actually he might be right lols)

MidwestGolfBum · 02-03-2012, 05:32 PM

Good to see that kids just keep getting less and less intelligent. It's also very refreshing to see that they have lots of interest in politics, geography, world events, and basic US history. Given that they have probably recently learned most of what they are being asked makes this even more sad.

Q4P · 02-03-2012, 05:32 PM

not really the future... it's already here and has been, a halfway intelligent person would know the answer to all of these questions... problem being that a halfway intelligent person is not someone you would just run into, this is the reality of today.

MDyDinanM · 02-03-2012, 05:34 PM

they probably rather spend all their time on FaceBook or interwebz forums than learn anything on their own

oh wait...

NYCGP · 02-03-2012, 05:41 PM

I am not worried at all... These people are vital for the future of the country.. The idea that everyone needs to be intelligent for our country to prosper in the future is rather ignorant. We need people to do menial labor and these are the future ditch diggers, cashiers, etc.

The sole person they run into that is intelligent will know a little bit about everything... guess which of these people will run this country in the future.

Sometimes the simple answer is right.

This is true, what always seemed to get me though is that in Canada in the Alberta school system. In the social classes we'd always seem always seem to learn about every fuckin country and especially the USA and hardly anything on ours. Could never figure it out.

WRONG - it depends on the crowd u ask... there are idiots everywhere; the problem in the US is that the media makes a lot of them famous making us look bad to the rest of the world, the fact that our culture, tv and Hollywood is the most extensive and our language is universal, it certainly doesn't help. In fact;quite a few nations- Mexico included scored far below the US on this geography test. Let's remember where the most respected and famous universities in the world and the ones every wants to attend are still located.
