Say hello to Generation Puddle

I’m glad to see that somebody besides me has noticed the mallification of the Siamosphere. You’d have to be blind not to, but everybody seems to regard it as a normal part of the ongoing process of human devolution.

I applaud Pornpimol Kanchanalak’s astute observation that “one day our children will wake up as shallow as a puddle”.  They have already attained that state, madam. I see it every day as I ride the Skytrain. Rare is the passenger, whether child, adolescent or adult, whose nose is not glued to a smartphone. We can call such people puddles, because that’s what they’re as deep as.

So instead of giving the current generation a faceless label like Generation X, Y, or Z, taking my cue from Khun Pornpimol, I propose that we anoint them Generation Puddle.

Not much deeper myself,

Ye Olde Curmudgeon
