RE: I'm Officially Retiring from Writing Hive Posts

in #life11 months ago

The world has been spoiled since y2k with the advent of mass adoption of computers and the internet. Since then, the new generations don't have any patience or intention to do anything that takes time to learn. This world is spoiled with convenience and other people thinking for them. No need to think for yourself anymore when the elites took over that job. Until one of those so called Elites tell them to use Hive, they will continue to use platforms that exploit them.

Sort:  

My kids are that new generation and now both finished school as of this year. They'd disagree and most likely point out how everyone enjoys conveniences. I did my best to teach them to not take things for granted. They're not too concerned with elites and doom and gloom. They do a fine job of thinking for themselves. I've shown them Hive products and they're simply not interested and of course I'm not going to force them for if I did, that would push them away. However, my art can be considered a Hive product in a sense, and it is something they've genuinely shown an interest in. Perhaps it's up to people on Hive to provide something interesting to that generation.

You hit the nail on the head. The first people to adopt blockchain technology are the web 1.0 crowd from back in the 90s. These are the main creators of these products and the content reflects that. Until we have some content that speaks to this generation we would continue to get overlooked. But, it will happen eventually, we all were at the stage when we thought our parents interest wasn't really our own. We were into computers and they showed no interest, but now every grandma uses the internet without thinking about it. Same will happen with blockchain.

It's already happening. If you look closely you'll see all the age groups here. Slowly building up. Tough to get the ball rolling no matter your age. The youth need encouragement from time to time but respect will go a lot further.
