How we Want to be Perceived

MILLENNIALS
we are millennials.
How Millennials Are Viewed
many older people see millennials as the generation that constantly is in need of a starbucks and some sort of screen in front of their face. that is true, for the most part, but in reality, we are often drinking coffee to keep ourselves awake because we are up all night studying on our computers or we are developing new ideas with technology.
What Millennials are Responsible For
millennials are the generation known for exquisite knowledge and research capabilities. we are also known for having the widest use of technology. many millennials work in a technological work environment and help further our abilities with technology and research.
We were born into a world of developing ideas of technology and social media. Other generations confront us on our obsessive use of our phones or computers but we were raised among the technology age so we don't know anything else. We have never had to look in books to find research or encyclopedias because we could always rely on having the internet on our fingertips with fast and credible knowledge. This has shaped us into a very efficient group of hard workers. Phones do contribute to distracting us from doing our work or keeping us from getting anything done, but for the ones who use it wisely do get work done very fast. Other generations also think that our phones make us lazy but what they don't know is we still have to work hard. Teachers give us extremely hard assignments and tests all the time. Most people are working, going to school, taking a college course, and babysitting a sibling. We have to work very hard for everything we want and we never get any recognition for that.
