@cwebber I can confirm, as head of an associate degree(full online)that it's like that, and (exaggerating) while the previous generation couldn't read a book, the new TikTok generation can't even watch a video of more than 30s.
And not because they can't learn but because they don't know that they can.
I think that the culprit is the basic school system that doesn't teach to learn, to ask, to fail; then kids focus in the wrong goal which are grades instead of acquiring knowledge and experience.
