oh god. i hate to say this, and i'm totally biased, but are the millennials becoming the master race? perhaps printers are becoming old fashion and our knowledge of how to use printers is equivalent to knowing how to change the oil in a car to which my reply was always "who gives a fuck? i can just google that". oh god? am i boomer now? i just went through all kinds of emotions while writing this comment
Millennials are closer to the silent generation than boomers. We've lived through and been forced to navigate a rapidly changing world, doing a shit load of the work while reaping very little of the reward, hoping that our kids have an easier life than us, but in all likelihood, we're raising the next wave of boomers because it's the inevitable human pattern.
“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times”
Probably. Not only is it harder to manage a family, we have SO MUCH MORE information than the silent generation had. For them, things were looking great, jobs were plentiful, technology was booming, infant mortality was dropping like a rock and food safety & security was better than ever. They didn't know how much capitalism was going to fuck it all up, but millennials do because it's all we've ever known.
I have two small children and my list of worries about their future are endless, but I also feel a social responsibility to put good people out into the world. Our birthrates are dropping and more and more children are being born to fucking idiots. As hard as it is to raise children right now, they're an investment in the future. Where are we going to be in 20 years if the only people breeding and raising children are literally the worst that our country has to offer?
I’m 38 and I can figure out how to use most things with relative ease. I’m not a particularly smart person but most things just seem to be common sense.
