(Part) Youth of Electronic Dehumanization Management-The abyss of Relationships & Society
Let’s take a few basic questions we may be asking as parents, grandparents or even an aunt or uncle. Have you provided your child their own smart device(s), with the intention of better communication at the same time giving comfort within ourselves that they are safer; knowing where they are at all times with the capability to get in touch at a moment’s notice? Or did we provide these devices for other reasons whether it be a great gift for a holiday and/or birthdays, considering technology and ‘smart’ devices, are typically the most desired tangible by children and humans in general. These devices do not seem harmful on the surface. But is there a wizard behind these little computers. Where do the intangible social media platforms come into play? Do you think they are going away anytime soon? Not a chance! Artificial intelligence (AI) is next in line for the big enigma and how it will affect humanity. We get more into AI in the Star Wars Part.
So, are we doing right by making our piers, family, and children happy while keeping up with technology and current times? Yes??? We are doing right by having everyone on the same page and data plan, correct??? 🤔 Do you ever get the feeling that our intent is backfiring and the Cons seemingly outweigh the Pros? Could the opposite affect have taken place?? Are our children actually safer being we know their location and can speak or text them anytime or hour of the day? Do we really know what is going on in this fictious little digital world around them, whether it be a Tok-tok, Instagram or Snap Chat social communication platform? Yes, we definitely attained the comfort goal of knowing where our child’s physical position is… 🚩 BUT; Do we really know where their precious, innocent thoughts and minds are mentally in this confusing digital space? Did these devices open another can of worms and problems as if parenting wasn’t hard enough? During dinner time or at social family gatherings do you sometimes feel separated from each other and that a GPS or Flip phone could have accomplished the goal of what we were after in the first place? Instead we bought in to this constant distraction of unintended disrespect 🤦🏼♂️ So now looking deeper into the eye of the tiger are we confident our children are safe.?
Whether you are a parent, a child, have children or don’t; or are categorized as a baby boomer, generation X, Y, Z, millennial… please do not get discouraged or take this part or chapter as a dig on the youth. This is the digital poker hand we were dealt. Our objective is to give an honest perspective on electronics and social media, of all ages, to understand one anothers position in time and how its effecting us all. Read on please as this part may stir up some creative ideas and possibilitis for the future? Who knows maybe another Silicon Valley boom could be nearing? So let’s inspire one another into the creative entrepreneurial mindset with a collaboration of ideas to discussion amongst our, family and piers. We are in a very strange and volatile time with older age groups understanding tangibles and younger groups diving blindly into intangibles of technology. Think about the touch and feel aspect of a tangible piece of hardware and then get out of your mind and go into a virtual room where you can touch what seems to be the same thing in the physical world. At the same time accepting it is not a tangible but a digital intangible reality. Two completely different spectrums to consider. We are living in a monster of an unknown world out there, as we are living within our minds in this social media/virtual world continuously influenced by media (Snap Chat) and trade platforms (Prime) which seems to be completely erasing the physical universe around us. Look around. Whether it be a grocery store, mall or outlet. We are all engaged digitally one way or another. The worst part of it is that we have little control within the digital world, which could be exploited as an addiction infliction by design from big tech to censor, in order to control and manipulate humanity. So, let’s take advantage of this perspective amongst all of our ages and work backwards from the beginning of this part to an end state as a potential digital pioneer predicting what we can control and predict for a healthy digital future.
Back to the parent perspective now… Does your child meet in social environments other than your household and family events? Do you see them influenced by other kids at school or on the school bus? Do you have them in activities and sports and surprised what they are learning from there environment around them? Not only do their activities (FB, BB, VB, Soccer, Tennis, Cheer, Gym) take a chunck out the bank, we may just have invested even more money in losing a piece of your parent/child relationship with the purchase of their first I-phone or Android. Do devices, Apps, video games, social media (Tik Tok, Snap chat, You tube, etc.) and apps seem to be infiltrating their minds; while we sit on the sideline in confusion, so quickly right in front of us at the young developing years of our childs lives? On the contrary, by understanding technology more, would it strengthen the parental-child relationship? Could it possibly salvage the realtionhsip with what time is left? We need to work together in order to find commonalities to relate to our children and our children to relate to us into the next generation? We are always trying to negotiate technology as leverage with our children. It’s almost like they have a bargaining chip before the bargaining even begins. So why are we bargaining. Flip phones work and accomplish what your purpose for getting them a device to begin with. Although it’s probably much too late for this unless you have infants or toddlers. Therefore, as a quick fix suggestion, other than utilizing the data features, maybe we can start making them earn the technology with whatever means necessary, whether it be chores, monetary or family time invested.
Looking beyond the obvious. Are we considering the long-term effects of this social technology in the hands of minors? What do we consider a minor from a digital perspective? Does technology at that age make it a moving target? Is there a methodology in leveraging electronics for the purpose of a child’s healthy developmental evolution? If you start at the electronic inception, is this where the best outcome can occur? Have you heard enough questions to pull your ears from our heads? Although, this is the point; we all need to think about the amount of data and questions we are pondering which we may not able to answer a large percentage of the time. Are we behind the curve ball, so to speak? Did the electronic monopoly already steal our children before our eyes at age 8, 6 years old, younger?? Or is there a strategic edification methodology for our youth of tomorrow in order to become productive parts of society utilizing this amazing technology at the tip of our fingers? Or possibly deterring our ability to learn? Are schools, governments, and society going in the right direction utilizing electronics in this technological era? Not that I agree with Communist China, but they may be onto something, as on September 1st, 2021; video games, including smart devices and social platforms, were banned under the age of 18 on weekdays and limited to one hour a day, on weekends and holidays. Funny, that the developers of Tik Tok limit their own people to use and the communist state bans them to children.
So what is our American system actually proposing, discussing, and debating from a populist’s objective point of view? I have seen very little. Actually, it seems more apparent that big tech is the vanguard on all social technology and electronic platforms manipulating government(s) due to the fact that a lot of the politicians are from an older generation not understanding the algorithms, only seeing the greed and power obtained from the technology at the same time controlling the human mind. Take a look at this quick video about mass formation psychosis explained by Dr Robert Malone in what could be occurring currently in society. It’s a little lengthy but after 30 seconds gets quite interesting. If not. Skip it for another time.
What is occurring is an enigma directing the future of our youth into society as sheeple while the few big tech leaders are the Shepherds. “Enigma is a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. At times it’s important to clarify a definition today, as politicians and the media can redefine vocabulary with consistency and persistence redefining terms in order to manipulate larger formations of people. Social media platforms can and are assisting this unethical behavior. See…. people….politicians, corporations, and political/activist groups, including the education system of our youth, can have a propensity to lack integrity, honesty and morals; utilizing a psychological methodology which projects a false ideology or agenda, with an ultimate goal, to manipulate the public into following a movement which in actuality is a complete false reality! This methodology gains a political, personal, financial and/or egotistical advantage or goal for the group guilty of behaving in this manner. 🤯 I feel a good example is the new ‘woke’ way of society. They hijack an individual or class of individuals ignorance and/or insecurities into a mass rhetoric campaign of a very questionable false agenda. It may seem like we are digressing from topic on ‘youth electronics and dehumanization effect but we are seeing this exact methodology being utilized on our children by censoring and manipulating information on these social platforms. Not only are our relationships being hijacked but quite bluntly facts and the truth are being hijacked. Here me now, on a micro personal level. Let’s say you are assaulted verbally or even physically; and choose to take the high road; you take your lumps while letting this person get away with bad behavior or lies; So just let the scenario roll off your shoulders. BUT be careful of the new age ’woke’ tactic in which we are immediately accused of exactly of the bad behavior which in reality happened to you. Is it a method of Psychological Projection which is definded as… “A defense mechanism in which ego defends itself against unconscious impulses by denying their existence in themselves to attribute them to others”
NOW, we can understand some of the realities and tactics taking place in our society and communities around us and our children; we can and should be aware of some tactics to assist in defending facts, integrity, character and truth.
Moving on from this depressing reality around us, we will now take a positive proactive approach to the electronics dehumanization quandary at hand.
As parents and empathetic humans, we collectively want our children to have the best shot utilizing their strengths and talents for the best life result. With electronics being such a huge part of everyday life, we can’t just burn all electronics around us. BUT we can collectively work together by developing an acceptable time management etiquette monitoring platform while educating the cause and effects of how detrimental electronics and social media can be to ourselves, children and piers. With this potential movement, which partially has already began with parents fighting school boards, we are able to accept, repudiate (refuse to accept), or limit media/social media in which we as parents choose to dictate the future mental health highway of our youth and humanity.
Electronics and social networking could just be the root cause of acts of violence that take place in our school settings? Or do we still want to blame the symptom not the root cause and continue to put metal detectors, gun control, armed school staff which is the reactive approach? Let’s all put our thinking caps on and take a big picture proactive approach which could be an interactive life simulation learning lesson strategy and dive into what we do not understand and do understand in this unavoidable digital world. I jotted down a very general outline with possible subjects and topics of discussion and interaction.
Keep in mind the intent of this outline is not to get into political debate but rather get to into the root cause of societal problems and what our youth has to contend with or without!
It’s a fact, before technology and social media era that kids could go home from school after a bad day (bullying) and be with the family and feel a sense of security. But now the digital world is 24 hours a day with social media and technology glaring into the eyes of our children.
The purpose for some type of ‘Youth of Electronic management’ would be an on-going training class to educate the children (First and foremost), and the parent/teacher on social interactions, social etiquette and the cause and effect to include the abuse of electronics in child development which seems to be dehumanizing all of us, not only just our youth. Typically, a family or parent can execute these values and lessons although it becomes more and more difficult with split households, two working parents where daily structure seems to be a moving target, while constant evolution of new platforms and apps makes it even more difficult to even see the dart board let alone the bulls-eye. These classes or sessions could be executed by parents in a school or extra circular hall after school or even develop into our school curriculum. We want to take a look at this course having real life interactions and practicing real life etiquette utilizing round table activities, discussions and role-playing lessons. There could be age groups for different categories of subjects. 4-7, 8-11, 12-13, 14-15, 16-18 for example. We could lean on someone more qualified in ages and development levels. But start at the forming years crucial to a child and adolescents’ development.
Now that the kids are occupied with an overwhelming number of sports and activities this could actually be fun for them utilizing snap chat or tik Tok social platforms and real-life simulations. If you want change from the control of big tech; hell, make a call to a few parental peers and jam out a quick curriculum, some life scenarios (bullying, snapping in appropriate pictures) and give it a shot.
So, onto the parents, let’s have a course for education and helpful practices at home and engage mom and dad and possibly save some marriages while we are at it as well, Kinda kidding, BUT feel this could be a topic on its own?!?!? Think about it? Does candy crush, IG, or FB take away from some relationship QT, if ya know what I mean. 🫠 Parents will get more engaged into what is happening in the schools, on TV, social media, apps, Internet, technological generation, then comment and suggest solutions. Cover the downfall of helicopter parenting practices. Frequently By saying ‘NO’ to your child is helping them develop, not hurting them? A balance of structural criticism is vital for development instead of telling them they are the best at everything and do nothing wrong. Otherwise, how would they deal with the real-life experiences when the young adults are thrown from the nest? Children need to help themselves in preparation for the real world. Not the opposite.
On related topic of society behavior disorders, I can possibly make the assumption the causes and effects of developed behavior patterns to included: Narcissism, Entitlement, (Border Line Personality) BDP epidemics are ABSOLUTLEY associated in parenting with electronics in this age we live in. How is everyday life effecting our children in modern society? We have our children building their instantly gratifying relationship within their electronic devices and apps opposed to true love and real relationships with mom, dad, siblings and friends…All while being Hijacked into a dehumanized robot it seems? These platforms and devices cause major resentment and animosity from a parent’s perspective and quite honestly can dictate our mood on a regular basis while fighting for quality time in our relationships. On the other hand we can probably all accept some responsibility for over compensating our emotional position asking children to put their devices down. I know I have countless times. What battles do we pick for the right balance?
Being a single parent can double this effect as time is shared. So from this perspective we could use a lighthouse to learn effective tactics from others and to pick battles effectively when fighting for our children’s time. As Time passes I personally see children seem to distance themselves into the teenage years. Partly natural although it seems electronics has taken a piece away. I understand this is a part of adolescent development, but the relationship seems exponentially disconnected as they have their faces in their devices constantly. Have you been on a 30-minute car ride after an activity with complete silence like we are at a funeral? It drives us nuts attempting to understand why we are letting this happen right in front of our eyes. It breaks my heart to watch our child from the toddler age which is absolutely interested in the physical world around them loving life and human interaction and attention playing sports, hobbies, developing relationships around them. And then WHAM! the digital world is introduced, with the parents blessing, evolving our heart filled beautiful creative child into an introverted, closed, obsessive, instantly gratified electronic addict that needs to be called to dinner a dozen times before they answer us. Again, this is not a dig on our children it’s just everyone’s battle with the reality of digitals.
Below is a quick draft outline for Topics of discussion for anyone to expand on or eliminate in case anyone wanted to utilize the ideology: So, when you meet with parental piers in development of a curriculum it probably behooves us to include different career and personality types to have a thorough plan before starting the sessions. So, we can work backwards from here and have some fun all while diving deeper in understanding our children and the electronic tools around us. I know it seems crazy some of the below common sense needs re-established but have you ever thought you would need to worry about the safety of your daughter with who could be in girls school bathroom.

Now let’s get Geeky, below is a technology line curve (red) depicting time reference point where technology has occurred and what may be occurring at any time anyone has a monitor in front of them. The X axis being ‘human comprehension’, Y axis being ‘Time’. The left side of the curve is the ‘Known’ what we actually DO know and can consider the Safety Zone. And the right side of the curve is the ‘Danger Zone’ where evil and issues lurk which can be exploited without any warning or comprehension what could be occurring. This can help simplify the quandary we are in day after day.
So now we have an understanding of the universal digital quandary with youth and electronics and human relationships being hijacked by their ‘Smart’ devices which in fact, seem to be making us ‘Dodo Birds’; completely unaware of our surroundings. What can we do about it? As parents we have the power to educate, discipline, and facilitate device usage. Or set up the above curriculum private or public to educate the youth, parenting awareness and even marriage classes to assist with building relationships, uniting mom and dad in their parenting and co-parenting quest for raising successful productive children into our society. But with societies big tech and media wokeness gravitational strength; is this enough to make a difference in a positive direction? I would sure hope and think so, as this is our choice, our family, our group working together with the same objective outlook in mind.
It’s unfortunate that we can’t get into many topics without getting into the pandemic aspect of life after 2020. I wish we could, and someday hope we all look back and see how foolish we all were in handling this awful virus. Not that I am arguing the deaths and severity of older ages of the problems it caused. Truly sorry of all lost loved ones lives. But feel Covid pandemic became the biggest politicized virus of all time that exposed our education system causing major damage to our way of life and more sadly our children. Although looking at the positive, this pandemic exposed education systems to the parents and children while the were being remotely educated. Exploiting education platforms with political indoctrination utilizing ‘Critical Race Theory’ (CRT) which is a method of systematic bullying instead of objective education for arithmetic, history, Science, and English. To top it off, children are abused and bullied, in my opinion, when mandated to wear masks when there is more of a chance, they will die being struck by lightning than die of Covid. What’s next; will politicians’ figure this out and mandate children to wear a grounding device before they leave home.
All of which these methods of political indoctrination are electronically driven or somehow related to electronic means for society to follow this awful tactic dividing humanity. As an example, and quick digression, I used to love watching sports as a peaceful, enjoyable mental getaway from the divisive political toxins spewed throughout our daily lives. Now electronics and electronic media platforms have given sports figures a tool to give political views, utilizing twitter for example, which brings all the political toxins to the world of sports. And the media falls right into the drama.
Here is spitball IDEA? What if the parents excersiced thier freedom to have a mass exodus from public schools and home school their children with a collective group of like-minded parents/teachers utilizing an application tool for education? BY NO MEANS is this a negative denotation of school teachers. As a matter of fact, it could be a refreshing reset, considering how stressful the teachers daily work lives are with all the cirriculum and agenda contention their leaders have caused them. It would be a social classroom application selecting your number of students in a real-life classroom, whether it be at a home or various homes during certain weekdays or even rent out an American Legion for our children to get a real school effect for history, English and math which they deserve without being constantly confronted with LGBTQ and the progressive way of socializing and indoctrination. For example as a website which does not exist as of yet: www.oneschoolclassrom.com; where the parents communicate with other parents on different class subjects (History, Math, English, etc.) in which they elect and customize the most suited home or ‘group’ school teacher(s) per subject, class size, class location, and shared curriculum. This could possibly work as a calibration tool for less conflict in public school systems considering the parents are being labeled as domestic terrorists because they voice their opinion on their child’s education and school days with masks and CRT indoctrination in the public education system for political agendas. Again, these are just a few ideas for the anyone looking at possible answers to the outrageous issues our politicians and governments have brought our families at this present day.
Another IDEA??, which can be a fun part or creative project for our children. Where a 15-year-old or even a 13-year-old, for example, can think independently and creatively as an entrepreneur becoming the big new tech pioneers like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. How can a teenager or 20-year-old possibly do this? Is it possible for David to beat Goliath? Absolutely!! Current social media and search applications, like Google, yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, are being censored to only allow certain information to be released to control the minds and factual information getting out in order to put ‘Fact’ blinders over the public. It is currently occurring and will become much more subjective as time goes on while these control monsters are in power. These elite politicians and big tech corps think kids are stupid which is a perfect storm for the youth to exploit this reality. Therefore, by working backwards on the opposite end of the spectrum, exploiting the complacent and arrogant adults/politicians and power-hungry corporations/lobbyists which are controlling the big tech communication airways; the clever and ambitious youth through creativity and numbers start their own platforms beyond what big tech currently utilizes. The youth at early ages of even 10 years old or maybe less, see the reality of how arrogant and out of control these morons are which control the system. Now for the real challenge to tackle… Get their eyeballs out of current technology hijacking their minds and creativity to start a movement. This is where the above parental corroboration (Support) for ‘Youth of electronic management’ can drive this movement. Let’s dumb down a quick strategy. Utilize already built and easily accessible platform templates. A lot of the algorithms and platforms are for sale for quite cheap actually. So, build it. Call your new social media FB Platform JerkFace (JF) and Twitter (Fingers) and IG (Swift Shit) all we care. It seems that children and youth only utilize Tik Tok (TT) and Snap Chat (SC) as the current communication avenues for freedom of information sharing. Keep in mind this will not be the case for very long, especially if this living document becomes popular and more people collaborate their creative thoughts of what is reality. EXECUTION and TIMING is critical. After a pilot platform is built, they could essentially start using the current TT and SC platforms as communication sharing and litmus tests in order to test and develop the new platforms which essentially could replace Facebook, IG, Google, twitter, etc. Stay with me now young entrepreneurs… You may not realize the huge majority of the world will back you all and adult >40 age population. Do not invite the elites, follower sheeps, which are the opposition and will try to kill the initiative first chance to stay in control. Utilizing your numbers and ‘nothing to lose’ leverage attitude and moreover control the huge population of the silenced majority which is the “Youth”; new platforms could essentially be switched from the ‘Elite Dark Side’ to the ‘Freedom Youth Platform’ overnight. A worldwide competition could be possible. Or at least within a country or community. Or you could just buy one of them like Elon Musk and reset the platform, but most of us do not have the means to do this. But Collectively could we find a way? Hopefully you all followed that? It would be wonderful to discuss this further and hopeful someone would even touch base to discuss or get clarification. If I am wrong, I will take it, so be it. ‘Fail Forward’ as one of the parts explains, failing being a learning lesson not a negative lesson. IF the youth were committed, strategic, and used the populous with timing the platform releases to vote on, so to speak; This THP Freedom of electronic platform ideology outcome could be made available within a reasonable time period. Look at it the youth of America… You have the majority of a nation, actually a world of humans on your side, waiting for some relief on what has been done to society in such a short amount of time; For example, look around and see people wearing masks, they don’t want to wear them, and can’t understand each other’s speech when wearing them. Workers, Customers, students. this is just the optics and physical aspect. Be a hero and free society of masks and availability to factual information. As a metaphor, We/you have the power to remove those masks or whatever bullshit the minority politicians are trying to control. Let’s allow the huge populous to breathe, talk freely, and play a normal kickball, volleyball game again.
