Hey, we're not the generation that started filling the air with carbon, cut down forests to fill with McMansions to drive SUVs 40 miles to work, started wars in the Middle East, or put the interests of corporations before the interests of middle and lower class. Our elders sure are ones to speak about making dumb decisions...Engrish_Major

Yet, who told you all these things and why do think these thing are necessarily so bad or evil? See this is exactly what is the problem with your generation. You are actually no different from previous generations.

Texting and gadgets doesn't make kids morons. Their lack of intelligence makes them morons.

Every generation says the next generation is stupid.

This. The baby boomers themselves had to face the same crap from the generation before them.

We are stupider...the fact that we don't have to expend any energy to find information doesn't make us smart. FragStains

Stupider? Tell me Mr. Genius, on what basis do you make this claim?

Or maybe she's jealous that we know how to use them.Perhaps that'swhat might begoing on here; older people can't accept that younger people know things they don't.

Finally someone has the balls to say it.clubsammich91
People should have the balls to say something substanciated. ;)

Not just their own personal opinions and theories (oh well its not my fault etc etc) for what mistakes they did as a generation.

Eh... plenty of smart people out there so whatever. Even some of these bright people that I know text too much and probably don't read a book on their own but oh well.

Oh well, sometimes, my parents would complain about me studying too obsessively.

Ah no, they just complain that i don't act like others, like I'm supposed to be spoonfed for everything, this and that. It saddens me, really.

Maybe they want you to be more involved with other people? Just a guess. Building social relationships is essential in adulthood if not only for business.

"...if I could only get their full attention. They are often too busy texting, instant messaging, watching weird You Tube videos or playing with iPod apps..." I wonder who gave them all those things..

Baby boomers conduct a study based on baby boomer methodology on consumption of baby boomer mediums, and find post-baby boomers are not baby boomers. Television was to be the doom of society and drug of a generation. Radio was to be the doom of society and drug of a generation. Popular and smutty novels was to be the doom of society and drug of a generation. Automobiles were to be the doom of society and the drug of a generation. But I'm sure this time it's for realsies.

What are you talking about? Of course these things are bad. And I actually make an effort to try to avoid them, unlike all of the middle-aged people I know.
