I would argue that millennials know when to use texting as opposed to calling vice versa better than older generations. Especially when I need a quick answer about something that's time sensitive. I find that my parents will be like hold on let me shoot them a text and it bugs the hell out of me.

Probably true - but they also don't know when to stop using the phone and pay attention to something else, like a movie, a conversation with other, present, live "human beings" or their driving.

So, there's that...

People are stupid, regardless of when they were born.

Texting is superior to talking for communicating messages.


Less so for conveying tone and emotion.

Texting makes it too easy to have non meaningful conversations 24/7. I don't get people that are constantly texting at all points of their life. You are not that important and neither is your conversation.

Millennials are why the cell companies are gouging us for data instead of minutes nowadays.

Remember when you paid $40 for 1000 minutes, and got rollover, and paid $10 for unlimited data?

Now every plan is basically unlimited talk and text, and 10 GB of data is $100/month.

No, millenials are stupid with this shite. Texting me to say "I'm sorry I'm running late" is stupid. Just be where you said you'd be.

Texting me to ask which apt I live in or how to get in the gate when you are at the gate is stupid. Just call me and ask, I'm more likely to respond quicker.

Millenials are impersonal, selfish, creatures that overvalue their own time while wasting vast amounts of other people's time.

I sometimes hate that I'm a part of this generation.
