I feel very, very, very sorry for you for the mere fact that you have to deal with the idiots of my generation (18-24), which is basically 80% of them all.

I hear this often, but, having worked with them extensively, have come to the conclusion that the this generation is really no worse than any of the previous generations at their age. The fact that technology has allowed for them to be constantly and instantly connected with each other has served to publicize their indiscressions to a degree unheard of. People of my generation, and those before, were able to keep a lot of these things under wraps due to the fact that information traveled much slower back then.
In regards to academic ignorance, there were a lot of people in the WWII generation and the Baby Boom who couldn't locate this or that country on the map, so that is nothing new. Most complaints are nothing more than the age-old cry of the elder generations pointing to the young-uns and telling anyone who would listen that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. The reality is that it is already there, and has been there throughout most of recorded history.
In short, you guys have a bad reputation that you really don't deserve.
