I'm a Millennial. Back in my day, I played outside or read books in my free time from homework and school. We didn't have cell phones.

I think that there are people that might not fit the trend that many other people in their generation set, but I think things started to go down hill after the generation "Greatest Generation."

The generation before me fought WWII; so, no to that one. My daughter, her husband, and their friends, at least the one's I've met, are so much smarter than me, I'd have to say no to that, too. I just see us all as different, insofar as any generational strengths or dominant characteristics.

Geeze... I just don't know.

As a gen x-er I hear people complain about millenals a lot . I find them sensitive,hard working and creative,as a general rule. They're facing all sorts of challenges previous generations did not. I think there's also the nostalgia effect coming into play. We tend to remember our youth as better than it really was.

“Back in the day” in this USA is code. You never hear any oppressed people from back in the day refer to the good ol days. Every generation is more inclusive, more tolerant and smarter than the last. This new generation has the tough task of pulling this country’s head out of its ass after this desperate white GOP and evangelicals have raped our constitution.

The ones that are younger. I see a big flaw that, not all but a lot of them rely on modern devices. If an IMP etc. would take out a satellite. The internet is not going to tell them what plants to eat or other basic survival skills and Bear Grylls can only tell you so much until you do it yourself it is a tough job surviving.

I find the generations after me less independent, less ambitious and more apathetic.

I think they call that spoiled, however, I have to say my kids are working harder than I did...
