The Modern Paradox

After watching numerous "Kiki Challenge" videos that are floating around the internet, I have come to a conclusion.. People are getting dumber by the day! Somehow mankind seems to be going into regression instead of progression. As technology gets smarter, humans are becoming less intelligent. As long as they are doing whatever the media feeds them, they are happy and not worried about the repercussions of their actions. If it's a silly dance that requires them to jump on to the road from a moving vehicle, then they will do it just to look cool and be more socially acceptable.. even if it poses a risk to their own lives and the lives of others.

Don't know where everything went wrong..Maybe it's our education system that needs an overhaul or maybe it's our parenting methods that are flawed. Whatever the case, what we now see is a generation that: is extremely dependant on technology; has no clue about where it's headed; has no ambition besides living on social media; and follows anyone who appears "hip". This is the generation destined to save the planet and work for a better future. Sadly, it seems this generation needs to be saved from self destruction first.

According to the evolution theory, we should have reached the zenith of intelligence by now. But somehow, we are nowhere near the level of finesse or enlightenment as people were hundreds of years ago. Have the quantam leaps in science made us forget how to use our brain? Or did evolution decide to turn us back into monkeys? It remains a modern paradox.
