why shouldn't adults bully each other?

lol...

ok, so you have a flair for pedantry too?

Nothing I say is trivial... your scope's narrowness only means that you don't see 'the big picture'

UK sociologists also use those terms, what's the point? the fact is that people born in given eras hold different views, based on their socialisation and other factors.

Did they? Well that was retarded of them, wasn't it?

The fact is: people born in the given eras hold views based on a number of factors... most of which are identical regardless of which era the person happens to be born/grow-up/live in. The processes behind the holding of views is identical, regardless of what views held might be.

Welcome to basic psychological and sociological concepts. I hope that you enjoy your stay.

you mention discrimination, well yeah, most in 1913 thought racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. were wrong lol... and it was publicly accepted to be an atheist too! lol...

We're equally as discriminatory as our forefathers were... where one man might discriminate against blacks, another might discriminate against those who discriminate against blacks.

Cool, isn't it?

and yeah, binary, electronics, and microprocessors existed in 1913. ICT is designed to process information, this is what a computer is for. social connectivity? lol... this is why research, business operations, practically all major civilisational process in the modern world are driven by computers. you do know a computer can calculate far greater than any human perhaps ever could?

Ooh, history. You do know that it's humans who come up with the things that computers are capable of? Of course you don't... we've achieved singularity after all. Haven't you heard?

Research, business operations, and civilian activity have zero impact socially unless such is facilitated as part of the system (ie: an internet of interconnectivity between otherwise disparate parts). You may research using a computer without any social bearing whatsoever (it is not a necessary part of research); business operations are usually socially-based in the first place, so I have no idea why you throw it out there as some sort of sans-social system; civilian activity is social activity.
