Humans can make progress with the previous generation teaching the next
how to avoid mistakes and do better. This is no longer the case. The
yuungest generation is achieving less.

Several years ago, I came across something that had been engraved on a building and then translated from the original language. The inscription said "The young people don't listen to their elders and the world is
going to hell as a result" (or words to that effect). The date of the inscription was in the third millenium BC.
I suppose EVERY older generation since the dawn of humanity has been
puzzled by the youngest generation and what drives it. Yet somehow life
has gone on....

Well, that's one interpretation. Another is that each generation gets
worse until that civilization falls.
Hard times create strong men.
Strong men create good times.
Good times create soft men.
Soft men create hard times.

Seriously, the current generation over generation decline is traced
directly to kids having cell phones, as the start of the dip in test
scores coincided with widespread use.
Apparently the real reason is the substitution of smart phone
activities which is not reading, and actual reading from physical books.
To the extent that actual text may be read on smart phones, or ebooks, I don't know how that ruins kids' intelligence.
I don't favor state laws banning use in the classroom as that misses the
real point, which is lack of reading. And you get some kids just
recording lectures for later reference, or creating evidence of absolute nonsense in classrooms.

There's no question that parents have also gone soft since the 80s. That >doesn't help.
