Do you think social media has altered the way younger generations communicate?

I'm just sitting in my office when this younger person comes up and just starts telling me a rundown of their life. Like a series of status updates I didn't ask for. Is this a symptom of social media where you have to let everyone know what's going on in your life?

This is the most rhetorical question I have ever seen.

Also congrats on framing a story you want to tell in the form of a question.

No moreso than text messages, cell phones, pagers and telephones before them altered communication. All of those pieces of tech fundamentally changed the way people communicated once teens and young adults began to use them.

Same with smart phones and social media once they moved to being apps and mobile web/app based.

Just how we work.

I’m calling bullshite. No millennial is already up at 6:13 telling you stories. They haven’t even woken up yet or ordered their double esspresso mocha latte swirl with soy milk.

It has been happening since humans could talk.

Now if he typed it out and gave it to you on paper then I would say yes, but humans talking about useless things is part of being a human.

I thought the narrative from old people was the social media made millennials antisocial in the real world.

Social Media hasn’t changed the way young people communicate so much as texting has.

This reads like an essay prompt. Are you trying to get us to do your homework for you?

That kid is going to be your boss one day.

If you've got a young millennials at work at 6 am on a Monday morning and socializing with people who have offices, he is going to be running that place one day.

Baby boomers do the same thing.
