i think people are underestimating the young generation of millennials. We will prove to be more caring and nurturing to this world that was hosed over by our parents

i think the internet just allows dumb young people to make themselves and their selfishness more visible to others.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers. -Paraphrase of Aristophanes' The Clouds

Young men, in the conduct and manage of actions, embrace more than they can hold; stir more than they can quiet; fly to the end, without consideration of the means and degrees; pursue some few principles which they have chanced upon absurdly; care not to innovate, which draws unknown inconveniences; use extreme remedies at first; and that, which doubleth all errors, will not acknowledge or retract them, like an unruly horse, that will neither stop nor turn. -Francis Bacon, 1625

So what you're saying is that every generation thinks the one before them sucks and the one after them sucks even harder? And that we should just shut the gently caress up about it already? Wisdom

There was a time,' Nikolai Artemyevitch resumed, 'when daughters did not allow themselves to look down on their parents—when the parental authority forced the disobedient to tremble. That time has passed, unhappily: so at least many persons imagine; but let me tell you, there are still laws which do not permit—do not permit—in fact there are still laws. I beg you to mark that: there are still laws——' -Ivan Turgenev, On the Eve, 1860

Whither are the manly vigor and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt... -Town and Country magazine, November 1771

Never has youth been exposed to such dangers of both perversion and arrest as in our own land and day. Increasing urban life with its temptations, prematurities, sedentary occupations, and passive stimuli just when an active life is most needed, early emancipation and a lessening sense for both duty and discipline, the haste to know and do all befitting man's estate before its time, the mad rush for sudden wealth and the reckless fashions set by its gilded youth--all these lack some of the regulatives they still have in older lands with more conservative conditions. -Granville Stanley Hall, The Psychology of Adolescence, 1904

putting up with willful children was annoying enough to ancient hebrew grownups that they made "listen to your parents you little shits" one of the 10 commandments and even put it earlier on the list than "no murdering" and "no loving your neighbor's wife"

Household luxuries, school-room steam-press systems, and, above all, the mad spirit of the times, have not come to us without a loss more than proportionate...[a young man] rushes headlong, with an impetuosity which strikes fire from the sharp flints under his tread...Occasionally, one of this class...amasses an estate, but at the expense of his peace, and often of his health. The lunatic asylum or the premature grave too frequently winds up his career...We expect each succeeding generation will grow "beautifully less." -Thrace Talmon, "Degeneracy of Statue," The National Era, December 18 1856

Youngest millenial is now 18 years old. Pointing out its failures is getting old. We should focus on how hosed up the generation coming of age starting next year is. They don't even have a vague recollection of the world before the internet and 9/11. Have marketers told us what characterestics everyone between 0-18 years old has yet?

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. -Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

I'm more worried about elections and not what bored old people post on Facebook, but that's just me. In a couple years I see us just barely flirting with 5% voter turnouts when millennials are like <removes oculus rift> "all non-whites illegal? like I care bro, I don't live in this world anymore" <returns to the Mos Eisley cantina>

I know every generation hated the previous and the next but I think it's a bit disingenuous to say the internet hasn't substantially changed things and that adulthood has been pushed much farther back in life.

Simply because it's a common sentiment doesn't necessarily make it wrong, it could be a cyclic issue.

Like the idea that people get comfy, poo poo stagnates, and things start going downhill doesn't really seem that farfetched to me just because it's a sentiment that's been expressed in many societies. In the US for example we're already backsliding on several issues like abortion.

Industrial Revolution did it earlier. Once a majority of young children started going to school instead of contributing to the household economy, there was a big shift in how we viewed children and childhood. Really every major technological advance "substantially changed" society in some way.

Some good things happen for the better, society gets nice and comfy and sits on a couch for a couple decades, then has to scramble and get up because the volume is too high and the channel switched to hour blocks of infomercials. roymorrison posted:What's funny is when you stop bringing your phone with you everywhere it all goes away. I dunno. I think technology just allowed stupid people to get a louder, much more widespread voice. They were always there and will always be there, but now cousin jethro can post about how ISIS and the FBI are in cahoots and get a handful of likes.
