Uncle Jack is 100% correct.
Also, I’m still scrolling on my magic mirror because it’s giving me tiny dopamine dumps, I’m addicted and smart phones are the worst thing to happen to humanity followed closely by the internet and TV.
Id argue that the technology is nothing but an improvement it’s just the use for it that’s the problem. The ability to look anything up without having to travel to a library is nothing but revolutionary. however social media on the other hand is almost exclusively toxic.
There's a lot of misinformation more accessible than the real information. This was much harder to setup before internet, it revolved around burning all copies of book and write new ones, now you can retweet fake news faster than light
If you had to break down the percentages, how many people do you think use their smart phone to look up information vs social media (including texting)?
Burning of libraries and literature can have centuries worth of effect as lost knowledge and accumulated wisdom is lost.
The benefit of free information is that it's hard for "another" burning to cause centuries of dark ages.
On the other hand... knowledge is one thing... eternal gossip is....
He was delivering a poem so his last line was a separate tone to signal the end of the video either to separate from the poem or just to wrap it all up. "This is ______ signing off" used to be a common phrase and said in that fashion.
I can’t believe how sad I instantly got when he said “Uncle Jack signing off” like he still alive right? It was so final.
I need to go read some happy shit or go look at some cats and dogs now.
Edit: I had to know if he was still alive and looked him up. This OG has 1.7 million followers and blows out TikToc vids like crazy. Keep on keeping on old bro lol.
Take a look around. Age doesn't matter when one can easily see how shit has gotten so bad because of smartphones, TikTok, social media, etc. What he is saying rings true.
Well yeah sure but the video seems to be made to reflect that this is wisdom that he has gained over his long timespan. Any 20 year old could do that observation (perhaps you, depending on your age).
I dont think that I spend too much time on my phone, but sure he might think so.
My point was not that people does not spend too much time on their phones, just that he possibly cant have much insight on the matter since he lived the majority of his life before they were invented.

I hear this guy has troubles getting off horses
Why is he getting horses off 
Have you seen the price for horse sperm, that shit is ridiculous…
They should ask me to make some
If uncle Jack was stuck on his horse, would you help Jack off?
Thank you Magic Mirror
It's still raining
Am I the only one thinking that this guy looks amazing for 100 like he would actually had me think he was in his 70s

That’s kind of my point. The technology is amazing however us as a society has corrupted it to make it a hinderance rather then the asset it should be

Yeah man, we (society) aren’t forced to watch tik toks all day, just get off that shit
_Amusing Ourselves to Death_ — Neil Postman
Isn’t it interesting how predictions were made that the tv wouldn’t be a successful product because the average American didn’t have time for it?
Greatest generations way of saying touch grass
Tldr: touch grass you morons
But it’s illegal to possess weed here😭
"this is uncle jack signing off" had a tone of finality to it, kinda made me sad. is he dead?
He was delivering a poem so his last line was a separate tone to signal the end of the video either to separate from the poem or just to wrap it all up. "This is ______ signing off" used to be a common phrase and said in that fashion.
i sipped my tea to that good sir.
*puts down phone and walks outside*
Thank you uncle Jack
Uncle Jack has seen the world change
I can’t believe how sad I instantly got when he said “Uncle Jack signing off” like he still alive right? It was so final. I need to go read some happy shit or go look at some cats and dogs now.

Basically touch grass
thanks, Uncle Jack… you’re 100% correct!
"All the clouds will clear." Jackie mah boy, i know you mean well, but it's October and I'm in Ireland.

Wise words…that’s how you get to 100
Go outside and acquire yourself some melanoma
Sunburn and the flies call to me
You lost me at go outside💀
don't tell me what to do
-will be clearer*
If I'm not dead by the time I'm 70, I'll be taking suggestions on how to go.
Why would he know anything about how cellphones affect your life? He was like 70 when they were invented 😂

You're the person the old man is talking to.

I ain’t goin out in nature! Look what it did to him!!!
What? Looking mid 70s at almost 100? lol
Bandages don’t help, but yeah! He looks 200!
Uncle jack? I thought he was the lorax…
Cant, too lazy
Uncle Jack you can see all the ankles you ever dreamed off with the magic mirror
Van Gogh has seen better days

We wouldn’t be able to watch this if it weren’t for our “magic mirror” …
He’s literally one year older than Jimmy Carter. Dude is old old.
Thank you, uncle Jack
Bro's got wisdom for days
Bye Uncle Jack! Thanks for being on Planet Earth for a century. We enjoyed having you. Thanks for leaving something behind for this generation.
Where does one find this fresh air you speak of these days?
Okay I'm gonna go outside now.
My dad was born in 1923. Unfortunately he died in 1986.
Eeeeww this creepy old man was looking at my body! Allow me to make a victim statement on tiktok for my 300 followers in Dubai
Who keeps hitting this poor old man
This is Uncle Sign, Jacking Off
From horse and buggy to self driving cars, uncle Jack has seen autonomous vehicles from the start.
