What I keep wondering as I see articles such as these:

Student falls off cliff taking photos

is how people can be so dumb in the current age(or so vain/obsessed as to ignore dangers around them) that they ALLOW this to happen due to not being diligent in watching for danger around them and/or not taking pictures in such situations in the first place.

If the above were the first time, i'd write it off as random stupidity/bad luck, but with other instances popping up more and more(like the woman who fell into an active volcano and the other woman who went hiking in bikinis to take photos and died, among others) it makes me wonder.....what the f**k is up with the newer generation and seemingly risking death for a few photos/not being aware of the dangers of doing such & able to handle such properly?

The technology is getting more advanced. The people, not so much.

It's not a generational problem. It seems giving cell phones to people of any age make them do stupid things... case in point, Anthony Wiener.

You say that in jest but there are a fair number of flat earthers out there.

This is true.
AND people that think the moon landings were fake.
AND people that think climate change is a hoax.
AND people that believe the Great Pyramids were built to store grain.
AND people who think that Hagar made a better Van Halen front man than Roth.

You forget:

The people who think the moon & sun are holograms

The people who think the pyramids are power stations

The people who think tinfoil blocks control signals from evil people in power

The people who think that Elvis and Tupac are still alive and got married and run a bed and breakfast in Maine and fight werewolves.... I'm sure there are some people who believe that. There must be a fanfic of that somewhere.

Well in fairness, I can understand why people think Elvis is still alive.

I mean, he kept himself in such good physical shape.

Just be careful WHERE you look up your fanfics.....I learned that the hard way one time & needed MASSIVE amounts of brain/eye bleach. :\
