My girlfriend at the time of the Russian invasion was a college professor. She said her students were all very concerned about Ukraine because they were seeing the horrific videos. Their emotional reaction was so extreme that they thought the US should be sending troops to help Ukraine!

It seems that generation is easily manipulated by emotion-inducing video content.

If it's on video or a photograph, then it's real. We parents were at fault for some of that with constant photo taking from birth. We're almost post literate because the technology enables us to "see" things instead of having to expend the effort to read about them.
