DNA is no different. Interaction with technology and other things is different. The biggest problem is in getting people to see some of the problems that come with advances in technology, or the things technology can't accomplish etc. It's not new. You could say the automobile brought bad changes and the generation that was responsible for proliferating it were 'millenials' of their day.
Bottom line is that mostly the younger generations, but all generations, get enamored with technology too much and rely on it too much. Best modern example may be Rumsfeld in his planning for OIF. He thought we could zoom everywhere, broadcast our message of peace and such, and take control of Iraq with about 125k people while many planners were telling him to think more along the lines of 500k. Part of that was his assumptions about how the Iraqis would react to our invasion. Part was due to his assumptions about what we could do, how efficiently, how many people in Iraq would receive our messages and so forth, which were all tied to the idea of maximizing our technological advantage. He was grossly mistaken about the impact of technology.

They aren't. It amazes me that people are so inept at recognizing patterns.

This is what happens when you add warning labels.
The stupid people don't off themselves as much as needed. While not always the case, stupid people breeding create stupid kids. In this case....millenials.
I like to call them the "now" generation. They want everything now, and it's not necessary to earn any of it.

So you are aware that PC shite started really coming into the mainstream in the late 80's and early 90's? So during your college years.
Thanks for all this PC shite a-hole.

If they get pot legalized in all fifty states and at the Federal level, then they will be the new greatest generation, in my opinion. Get that done and it is all gravy.

A general observation:
On average, in every way, someone born in 1961 has much more in common with a 1936 birth year person than a 1986 birth year person.

I distinctly remember reading an article in Time Magazine in 1990, my Senior year in college, about political correctness coming to a college near you and not understanding what the frick they were even talking about. That is a creation of you parent's generation. My generation was more about straight talk. Your pussy Boomer parents created that bullshite, Junior.

Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.
Let me know how wikipedia is working out for you?

Yup. Im 34 and could be lumped in with those sorry sacks of shite, but I doubt anyone would label me as such. I have a good job, and no Facebook account

Paige, you have always been a hot little slut here and are a creation of this degenerate website in many ways. We should meet somewhere. I think we would enjoy each other's company sweetheart.

Congrats to you good sir. These little counts wouldn't be able to survive without Facebook likes and approvals. Like I said, these poseurs here in Asheville think they are living on a movie set and there are moments when I have to restrain myself from just kicking the shite out of them. But props to you, my man.
