However, much like a decent amount of the young guys here on Zilvia, they think they "deserve" more then they actually do. They expect all answers to be handed over, with no work on their part. It's a sense of entitlement that, honestly, I have watched grow over the years.
I assume it comes from the fact, that as a kid, if I wanted an answer to something, I was shown the way to the Library, Where today's youth simply "Google" their way through life. Now-a-days, they don't even have to wait until they are near a computer to do so. There is no need to learn, or remember things, since the answer is just the click of smartphone away.
The convenience is awesome, of course, but the consequences are slowly growing.
Again, these are just the ramblings and observations of an aging man. Take them for what you will.

I agree with you mostly. My generation (18-25 right now) do have a reputation to demand what we may not deserve, well in the eyes of the older generations. But then again, our "Models" for success are high school drop outs (Bill Gates) and the youngest self made billionaire (Mark Zuckerwhatevergrapejellyburgh - Facebook). The work ethic of most 18-25 year-olds, even in the best times, have been suspect at best. The brain is not technically fully matured till 25-26 if I have my information correct. I do not think my generation is any worse/better than the last. I think we are relatively the same, we just have a way of making things easier (in our opinion).
