This paper examines how modern technologies—including smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence tools—are reshaping the behaviour, work ethic, and thinking skills of the younger generation. It argues that increasing dependence on AI is weakening critical thinking, while the addictive nature of social media fosters anxiety, unrealistic comparisons, and shortened attention spans. Additionally, the growing obsession with quick success and online fame is replacing discipline, patience, and long-term goal setting with a culture of instant gratification. Ethical concerns are also explored, particularly regarding harmful content exposure and algorithm-driven engagement that disregards age appropriateness. The paper concludes that while technology offers opportunities, its unchecked influence risks producing a generation less resilient, less creative, and more dependent on external systems. It emphasises the urgent need for education, parental guidance, and stricter regulation to ensure healthier digital habits and safeguard the future of young people.
