Somebody was showing me a video on YouTube that kept talking about the "Millenials" which I gather are supposed to be Generation X's (my generation's) grandchildren or something? According to this link, they're born between 1980 and 1995 (or perhaps between 1978 and 2000), which sounds more like Generation Y to me, but whatever. What stood out to me most, though, was the complaints about this generation (they're coddled, they're spoiled, they've been told all their lives how special they are, they're hard to tell what to do, etc.) sound very familiar. Yeah, I think that's what Generation X was accused of back in the late 80s and early 90s...
Anyway, either they're a nightmare in the workplace or the greatest thing since sliced bread, about to unleash transformative magic upon our national/global landscape...
...or perhaps they're just young, and young people are like that. For a while. Then they get older and start complaining about Generation Turquoise or whatever silly trend names are going to be made up next... "Kids today. Back in my day we didn't have holographic messaging!"
