Bad for you

So I dont think that there has been a post on this before, but I could be wrong. But I was thinking, right now Video Games are the seen as the 'corrupting influence' on kids, and people like Michael Atkinson have made it quite clear. But years ago, Movies had the kind of publicity that video games have now; supposedly turning the younger generations into violent psychotics. Even Elvis' Hip wagging was frowned upon at one point in time. So I was wondering what you escapists thought, once Atkinson's generation dies off and we take its place, what will be the vice of humanity that is ruining our kids? do you think it will still be video games? Or Virtual Reality? Or maybe some other more obscure form of entertainment, such as cloning yourself so you can beat the crap out of it or screw it.

I'm almost certain there have been threads like this before.

OTrobably the parents. If all the idiots in the world today go on to have children, they will be idiotic parents raising idiotic children idiotically.

Yeah I'm going to say virtual reality... Remember in Minority Report, where they had that VR place where you could have VR sex and VR boss-punching sessions? That will be controversial...

Of course, I bet there will be some new invention in the next 20-30 years that revolutionizes our way of thinking...

synth bass.

It will corrupt all music into crappy synthetic bullshit.

I think I've seen a thread like this before and I will say what i said on that thread here......"DON'T DATE ROBOTS!" (Its from a Futurama episode, and that will be what we will frown upon in the future)

The cloning thing sounds like it would fit, but then that would be really fucked up and would probably corrupt the youth. I take a stand against this sort of horrid entrainment and.... oh no....oh god no, I've become the next Michael Atkinson! Dear god noooooo! *choking sounds* Kill me.

3-d porn with Smello-vision. Can you imagine the day that you get ambushed with the next "2 girls, 1 cup"? The suicide rate will shoot up like no-ones business.

4Chans global domination.

We will be fucked.

I won't frown. That would be kick-ass. I'd be like one of the whites in Martin Luther Kings march. Except it'd be Martin Luther King R., and the march would be for robot freedom.

Well what I mean is, we'd have these robot models (blanks) that'd you'd put into a drive (its shaped like the blanks so they can fit in it) and then you'd download the personality of some famous person or make your own onto the blank, so pretty much you could make out with like...a super hot girl (or guy if you swing that way)

How does that answer the OP? He asked what was going to be viewed as corrupting children, no whats going to corrupt music. And FYI, synth bass doesn't corrupt music. Just because you don't like it. Crawl back into your little hole please, considering synth has been used since the 80's.

OT: Robots, specifically people dating robots. And internet addiction.

I think it will be these face-books I keep hearing about.

 

[Meggiepants]

Personal sex bots. All the sex, none of the guilt or consequence. People will go nuts declaring an end to humanity as we know it, all while secretly boinking their bots.

This or your cloning thing. But, I'd go one step further, you can buy other people's clones. Clones would become a valuable commodity. Hot, famous people would become even richer than they are now. Think of how many clones someone like Megan Fox could sell.

Wow sounds pretty tempting, I'm going to go ahead and invest in this now, screw morals.

 

[KdS_22]

It will probably be something along the lines of those "robotic" sex-dolls and virtual reality porn, since those are just starting to develop now and will likely become a bigger part of society by the time we're all much older.
