Thanks for the reminder

I keep forgetting I'm hanging out in the equivalent of a virtual nursing home. Just kidding, but there are a couple of youngish farts here too. I'm 41 and I'm pretty sure Tony and RL are of the Gen X variety as well.

Not sure I can answer the questions without knowing the criticism Boomers have for Xers. Throw them out here and I'll answer.

My own criticisms of millenials is this:

Grow up already and stop living at home with your parents.

Fair? probably not. Skyrocketing tuition costs and lack of jobs as the millennials came online into the workforce meant that most of them have struggled to find work. We are just now recovering from the jobs half of the problem which is leaving a lost generation of kids who were skipped over and don't have a resume to compete with younger millennials.

Pokemon? Seriously? You are a grown ass adult!

Fair? of course. Next question!

Ever heard of E-mail? Its fast, its reliable, no I won't snapchat!

Fair, I don't know. E-mail was the new thing as I became a professional, and it is heavily relied on in business. But it isn't very social for nonbusiness stuff. I've tried sending stuff to my kid's e-mail addresses and they will never see it. I am forced to use facebook and texting. I draw the line at snapchat though.
