This generation has done nothing relevant. The advent of technology has definitely been a gift, but a curse as well. This IMO especially concerns social issues. I'm a millennial so I can't compare the past from experience, but this generation seems so steeped in consumerism, vapidity, and narcissism. No one has respect for anyone or anything. Everyone seems so connected but has no connections to any real life. Kids don't go outside, people are fat, the media controls everyone, and people know this but don't care. As westerners it seems as though everyone has "made it" and society has become a cesspool of laziness peppered with shallow, useless people. I look around at people and everyone has on headphones, on their phone, tablets, etc. People don't even talk to each other anymore. Some of the issues we as society suffer from are not new. In the past though, people did something. Now everyone is a complacent drone. How will we be remembered? What will they say about us? I'm guilty of this stuff too.
This generation sucks.
