The Millennials
By: Isabella Joyce
We are more
We are generation y, the millennials. We are viewed as narccassitic, lazy, technology zombies. But, we are so much more than that. Yes, social media and technology has a huge effect on us but "Can you imagine if the boomers had YouTube, how narcissistic they would've seemed?". " I think in many ways you're blaming millennials for the technology that happens to exist right now." Yes, they check their phones during class, but think about how long you can stand in line without looking at your phone. Now imagine being used to that technology your whole life and having to sit through algebra." So before you are so quick to judge us, take a moment to think about the world we grew up in and the generation who raised us.
Environmentally and health aware
Today, kids are more aware and invovled in the environment and health issues than ever before.
Technological efficent and advanced
Thanks to technology, our generation is able to figure things out much more efficently. We can ask a question and have it anwsered within seconds. We are also more advanced than many adults in figuring out how to work a new phone or computer.
Connected with the World
Generation Y is more invovled with the activities going on in other countries, and our country. Many kids are able to develop strong opinios on things such as politics. And technology has allowed us a better understanding of events and tragities all around the world.
