If u watch SamBucha, he said this gen will have 12 hr screen time daily??? I think 89.48 percent of these people will get 4 or less hrs of sleep crashing out on fortnite, and start some new skibidi toilet thing. Here is some AI written text that expresses my concern;
Why Generation Beta Might Be the Worst Generation Yet
Honestly, I’m genuinely worried about Generation Beta. This is the group of kids being born starting in 2025, and if we’re being real, it’s not looking good. Every generation has had their problems — Millennials had economic struggles, Gen Z got stuck with the internet age blowing up too fast, and Gen Alpha got screens shoved in their faces before they could even talk. But Gen Beta? They might end up as the most chaotic, spoiled, and out-of-touch generation yet.
One of the first things that scares me is how much screen time they’re expected to have. Some studies are already predicting over 10 hours a day on devices — that’s more than a full-time job. If we think Gen Z had short attention spans or got distracted easily, Gen Beta might not even be able to hold a conversation without checking a screen. And it’s not just games or shows. With school becoming more digital and AI tutors taking over, even basic learning might happen through screens. They’ll probably think climbing a hill is a myth or that nature is just a background filter.
And don’t even get me started on how they’ll act. If trends keep going the way they are, Gen Beta is going to be the most spoiled, overstimulated group of kids ever. Picture this: kids throwing tantrums in restaurants because their chicken nuggets aren’t from the right fast food chain. Or toddlers knowing how to buy stuff online with their parents’ credit cards before they can even spell. They’ll probably have robots do their chores, AI friends that hype them up 24/7, and no idea how to handle “boring” moments without a screen. Honestly, they’ll grow up expecting life to run like a YouTube video — fast, filtered, and always entertaining.
And yeah, let’s talk about health for a second. These kids are on track to be some of the sickest — not just physically, but mentally too. With barely any time outside, barely any real social interaction, and constant exposure to flashy digital content, their brains and bodies might not stand a chance. Plus, they’ll probably be the most medicated generation, with pills for everything from focus to sleep. At some point, it starts to feel like we’re raising robots, not kids.
What really worries me is the type of trends they might start. Remember the Tide Pod Challenge? That’ll look tame compared to what Gen Beta might do. I can already imagine something like the "Chromebook Challenge 2.0," where they break school laptops just for views, or a new viral trend involving microwaving something ridiculous. They’ll probably crash Fortnite servers with how many hours they’re logged in, or cry if their AI-generated playlist plays one song they don’t like. It sounds dramatic, but if you’ve seen how each generation gets more extreme online, you’ll get what I mean.
Compared to Gen Alpha or even Gen Z, Beta seems like a step backward. Gen Alpha still played outside (a little), and Gen Z at least questions stuff and calls out bad systems. But Gen Beta? They might just go along with everything, as long as there’s Wi-Fi and snacks. They won’t know how to share, how to wait, or how to talk without emojis. And the worst part? A lot of adults will just enable it, because it’s easier to hand a kid an iPad than say “no.”
In the end, it’s not Gen Beta’s fault. They’re born into a world that’s already messed up — tech overload, disconnected families, and systems that care more about profits than people. But if something doesn’t change soon, they could grow up to be the most disconnected, dependent, and disappointed generation yet. And we’ll all be the ones who let it happen.

This is AI-generated? Which chatbot did you use? This doesn't sound very AI-generated.
We're all cooked.
I can't keep up with all of the labels for all of the generations. Luckily, I'll be long dead before we use up all of the letters in the alphabet...
True. True.

Let's just say that when some kid says "OK boomer", it ticks me off a little. :-)
