My So-Called Response.

First and foremost, I'd like to say that this particular subject grinds my gears.

Not only does "Our generation" not have control over when we were born, but we were left with a lot of problems from the generation before.
Now, does that mean that we should blame them for these issues? No. That would be just as much generalization as it is when they blame us for "wasting their accomplishments".
We grew up with technology. We are not all lazy, or narcissistic.
I like to get complimented on Instagram, does that make me insecure or narcissistic? That is on a personal basis. Not every person from the "same generation" is the SAME.
Generations, in my humble opinion, are debatable as to who they encompass.
For instance, at our accelerated generational rate, generations vary by both opinion and fact.
Before the technological "boom", generations were mostly seen as parents, their offspring, their offspring, and so on. Or, a generation would be ushered in every ten years or so.
Nowadays, I would argues that a generation could be every year. This is because there is so much advancement in our technologies and intellect, that people can differ greatly through each year of time that passes.

Besides the generational gaps, there seems to be 3 major generations in our time.
Those who were born before the 80's, between the 80's and 00's, and "millennials".
Those born before the turn of the calendar, are seen as even more lazy and narcissistic than those of my generation (the 80's-00's).
This is due to the fact that they were born into high-technology times.

I did not like the article, to be completely honest.
For me, it was too formal.
I would have liked it to be more OPINIONATED, as the Title would suggest.
It seemed too academic and factual-based to be considered to have the title with the word "opinion" in it.
