Generation of the lost!

Just had a conversation with my youngest, she is 12 and fast approaching 6ft. She is also ahead of the curve in many other ways, we are treating her as a teenager. I thought she was growing up to be a stable, responsible young person but then she went to http://www.presdales.herts.sch.uk/ a school like many others. She stopped listening to me, started believing the teachers and her social peers even when I took the time to explain in full (with proof of fact). The final straw was the latest BS regarding the new iPhone, the X, she made an announcement saying "did you know that the iPhone x will recognise twins as one person?", that's like saying water is wet! I tried to explain that this was nothing out of the ordinary and hardly deserved a viral msg let alone an announcement, no cameras have anywhere near the ability of the human eye and especially those in phones. so to make up for their lack of definition they use the processing power of their onboard CPU to extrapolate, add pixels, so OFC they will recognise close matches as being the same. Half way through the my 1st sentence I was being ignored in favour of, you guessed it, the iPhone! It was only then that the bolt of lightning hit me, an epiphany, the generation that now uses social media, networking and smartphones are sheep that will dismiss any and all other information regardless.
