Weird you would re-surface that quote in response to that, since I don't think a reasonable person would interpret it as a criticism of younger generations, but of the changing times we now live in.
No one ever starts at a public library to study a particular topic, you almost always go to an internet resource first [usually Google]. And TikTok/the internet generally, has hijacked attention spans, but not just of children, but of adults as well.
- lmm 4y agoThe comment I replied to explicitly talks about "kids" not knowing about the public library.
- miffy900 4y agoEven then, the OP mentioning that kids don't know about public libraries was NOT a criticism; you quoting Socrates is just bizarrely out of place as Socrates' quote was a strident critique on his perception of the behaviour of younger generations.
- lmm 4y ago> the OP mentioning that kids don't know about public libraries was NOT a criticism I disagree. It verry much came across as a critique of the younger generation.
