They also wouldn't have the stamina to make the 20+ mile trek to the site of the body, without twelve Red Bulls, and half-a-dozen Starbuck's drinks. Seriously, f@ck millennials - F@cking worthless generation that can't sit still for five minutes.
To be fair, after twelve Red Bulls and half a dozen Starbuck's I don't think I could sit still either. -

Born in late summer 1989 I'm a Millennial and I hate this generation as well. I grew up watching the last bits of freedom and and a plain experience of youth fade. I played outside as a single digit. We did stupid reckless things. But there was also a limit on that when living in the city.
NES was just a novel thing to play with on the side. Still had to smack the tube TV and the console to get them to work. Then N64 and Goldeneye became the thing. Our first PC came in '97 I believe, running Windows 95. No internet. Still played and did plenty of stuff outside.
The N64 carried us to Xbox and Halo. Still did plenty of other stuff. Then my friend got involved in PC gaming and would actually have to leave to go play in 'clan' matches which pissed me off and even in the mind of a 12 year old I asked him why he was leaving a real person to go play with a bunch of online people he'd never meet and wouldn't matter.
Then cell phones appeared but oddly only my mom had one for a while. Then highschool hits and iPods are the new craze from day one. Some kids had cell phones. By grade 12 95% of kids had one or a Blackberry. Friends are now basically unreachable except via text (actual phone calls are usually avoided with phones) Then iPhone launches.
I try to stay 5 or so years behind things after the cell phone. Didn't get one until grade 12 when you'd actually be looked over because people just didn't know how to contact each other but by cell phone. Didn't get a Blackberry until 2012 (I'm partial since I'm a KW native, the W being Waterloo)
I despise Starbucks and Apple. I hate car culture (baby boomers are guilty are starting that one though). I still remain active and it isn't an ordeal.
The smartphone and social media have destroyed any mystery in people; mainly because it displays how lame and boring people are. I don't care if you are 'traveling' or having god damn kid. It's nothing no one has ever done before.
Try actually sailing in a 12 metre boat on the North Atlantic for three weeks with a guy bent on getting himself killed and not post a single thing except this to the internet or something.
Generation Z is a total right off. They are how our race will significantly fall (which is a good thing overall) as a technology malfunction en mass will leave them.rubbing two iPhone together trying to make this thing called fire. -

I wonder if they'll grow up to post worthless rants assailing younger generations, as you have done here.
Maybe it would be a better use of your time to go throw some pebbles into an old coffee can. Your weepy circle-jerk with the other embittered, cane-shaking old luddites here is uninspiring and pitiful. Is this the adventuresomeness of your generation which you all hold so dear? I'm not impressed.
By the way, which generation gave us smart phones, Red Bull, and Starbucks? Hmm
This smug self-satisfaction is one of the forces that trashed our culture, and that happened before millennials even had a chance.
