When I was your age, we didn't have any of these fancy neural implants to play music, we had to carry around these little things called iPods.

... "we had to walk 10 miles to school, barefoot, in rain and snow, and uphill both ways!"

The above is something many kids have heard from their grandparents at some point or other, (though maybe with a tad bit more truth to it).

So this begs the question:

What kind of advice, and/or anecdotes will you be passing on to your children if you ever get any?

Back in your day you were snapping your fingers and wering leather jackets. Not against it, just thought I should bring it up.

Back in my day we had to do homework with books.
We went outside.
We had to call our friends to talk to them.
Kids didn't have cellphones or computers.
If you wanted to use the internet you cut off the phone service to your house
There was no broadband highspeed internet, and if you wanted to see some porn, you had to scour the house to see if there were any skin mags in a box somewhere no typing teh pr0ns in a search bar punk you do the searching.
Games kick your ass because they don't allow for thinking outside the box and they like to kill your character.
Our cameras had film, you made damn sure the shot was right before you hit click, 14 year old girls didn't send nude pictures to everyone because they knew they had to take film into a store,pay them money, and have them see whats on the roll.

When I was on your age then everyone were "in the closet" if your gay, then nobody cares. Just be your self lad, and now everyone can fuck everyone without anyone having a heartattack.

There's only one critical advice I'd ever give someone that summarizes everything I want to see humanity do:

USE YOUR F*CKING BRAINS. IT'S RIGHT IN YOUR HEAD; USE IT.

Also some more specific advice would be:

If you're in an argument with someone, never answer a question with an "I don't know". There's nothing more frustrating.
Respect and accept the people around you; but don't be afraid to state your opinions about things they do.
Don't be stupid. No, really. Just don't.

When I was a kid, people who yelled pointless nonsense and total bullshit were ridiculed and ignored. Now, it seems to get them a good job deciding the rules all the sane people have to follow. And they hang on their every word.
