555 Typical of the "pussified", snowflake, overly sensitive to everything, too easily offended by nothing, woke world we now inhabit. ???? 

 

DEAL WITH IT. GROW UP and GROW A PAIR.

They generally spend more than 6 hours looking at screens each day and obsessively use Facebook, Twitter and other information-related apps.

"...and other information-related apps" - perhaps we need to cut the time we use to spend on ASEAN NOW...:whistling:

Maybe it would help if the Thai Government/Military propaganda machine stopped producing so much <deleted>, that the majority of Thai people know is <deleted>.

They could start with well founded news about Covid and it's rapidly decreasing health risk instead of throwing the increasing infection numbers.

And please: how many countries have TV news anchors/presenters wearing face masks?

Even sitting alone in front of the camera.

Why produce such fear?

These concerns stretch back to the birth of literacy itself. In parallel with modern concerns about children’s overuse of technology, Socrates famously warned against writing because it would “create forgetfulness in the learners’ souls, because they will not use their memories.”

Ridiculous. I was using a video link with a bank in Singapore once and the girl at the other end was wearing a mask - I asked her why? and requested she took it off. I do tend to lip-read subsconciously so the mask hinders communication - also she was quite pretty ????

So, how is it then that when you try talking to these people about current affairs, the vast majority of 'em don't have a clue as to what is happening/has happened around the world? What "news" are they focusing on then?
