What is something that is growing because of young people?

Inspired by a post I saw on AskReddit (which has now been removed). What is something you believe is growing because of young people?

Maybe not directly related to young age, but incompetence in problem solving is growing. This could be COVID era fallout.

My kid is a teacher and the newer generation of kids can’t do anything by themselves without explicit direction. They dont know how to help themselves. They have no life learned skill or curiosity, as they possible just were fed screen time as a babysitter.

I have a 12 yo. Definitely a different childhood than I had, but not less helpless or ignorant than I was at that age. Less curious, i.e. in school and sciences, but that could be just a personality thing.

There are exceptions, but overall there a decline in self help or curiosity for self learning. We even see it at work with the new engineers.

I’m in the picture and i don’t like it.

I don’t want to read the 5 page manual when i only want o know a paragraph’s worth of informaion from it. The problem is, which paragraph 😭

And if i read the whole thing and remembered it, I would have a more complete mental model for next time.

But I’m typically drawn to breadth rather than depth. I read the whole TIS-100 game manual, but don’t usually manage to read man pages in full.
