Generation Alpha is the first to always know smartphones

They have never been in a society or world without smartphones.

Is it a coincidence that the names of generations have just reset and begun again? From Z to A; have we as humans changed to a new alphabet and a new definition in sync because of the smartphone?

Generation Alpha are the first humans to never know a time before the smartphone. They were or will be born from 2010 until 2025. At most, they are 14 years old.

Coming from someone who was around before the internet was in the public sphere, I would say the smartphone has changed people and our lives more than any other technological advance, compared to the radio, television, cable TV, and household internet.

Memory has the rollout of the smartphone to the masses around 2008. My wife and I got our first smartphone around 2010.

So, younger Gen Z, all of Alpha, and those coming have never known a society or world without smartphone technology. It just happens that the new alphabet distinction started right at this technological transition.

What this may mean

I don’t think this is a coincidence, rather, it is part of the social engineering agenda right on schedule. It signifies a shift in society and the world, defined by technology giving the powers to be much more control over our private and public lives.

Alpha is the first to be conditioned from birth to accept the new technological world, which reduces their rights, freedom, and privacy.

15-minute cities are a good example of this type of future for conditioned humanity, dependent upon technology with the smartphone as the central device.

Gen Z is the last people to remember a time without smartphones, although the youngest won’t remember much if anything. However, just being in a world without smartphone technology affected humans, even if they don’t remember what it was like.

Smartphones have changed people, society, and the world system drastically since 2008 or so. It has accelerated change in ways not yet accurately measurable.

Those who have lived before smartphones are much more likely to not trust any upcoming technological dictates, yet Alpha and the new generations after will nearly completely be on board with the technological future, not knowing anything different, having learned to trust technology in its free beta stages.

Just some thoughts on the reset of the alphabet to distinguish generations of people. Is this significant in the manner examined or is it just a coincidence and technology won’t be used to control us? You decide, of course.

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...

Plugging Along

Press enter or click to view image in full size The simple things are profound. Hello friends, hope this finds you well and in good health. I remember seeing this comic strip where an older man with a gut and grey hair saw a “hiring” sign at a fast food restaurant and thought it was a good opportunity. The theme of the strip was that he was a plugger — plugging along. That must have been about 20 years ago it seems, but it stuck with me in my journey of plugging along myself. So much was said in that little one picture comic strip. Our journey down here on God’s earth is full of plugging along moments; where our attitude and perspective really make the difference in the type of life we live. Not everyone gets the glory or the recognition. Most of us just work in the shadows plugging along with our lives, trying to do the right thing, trying to keep our heads afloat in the waters of hustle and bustle. I think what I liked about that comic strip was the humility of the cartoon character....
