like they have a birth defect if they do not have their noses buried in their phones?
My room mate is in her late 20's and her phone is her entire life.
One of these millennial twats almost ran into me yesterday at the store because he was looking down at his phone. Felt like jack slapping the little shit.

What are they looking at that requires them to be on their phones every waking moment?

But yeah when I see one of them NOT on their phone, it is like seeing someone with a missing arm or leg or whatever.
IIN?

    I'm not a millennial but I use my phone to get some work done when I'm taking a walk, mostly to check work-related emails, write back or do some research. The old-timers always assume you're doing something unimportant on your phone. They fear what they don't understand.

    Why is it so many in one generation love to ban together to diss the upcoming generation?? When I was a kid I often heard denigrating remarks about "my" generation (GenX), and now it seems it's "the Millennials" turn to burn at the stake for progress MY GENERATION made possible. What. The. Actual. Fuck?!

    Is your life so devoid of meaning and purpose that you have nothing better to do than slag off those left to deal with the MESS we, and all prior generations, have made of the world??

    Maybe instead of slinging divisive insults you try to understand THEIR experience, which was created in large part, by THEIR PARENTS.

      P.S. Just because a lot of people do, say, believe something doesn't mean it's wise, right, or logical.

    It's conditioning to keep people in a constant distracted complacent state. They aren't even actually communicating mostly it's just reading memes or "sharing" other people's opinions of things as if it's their own. It's sad, most people under age 25 have no real life social skills.

        Thanks. I take the train a lot of places because do to alcoholism and financial issues I don't really drive, and so I run into lots of different people. Even the older ones mostly stand around playing games on their phone but most younger people get visibly disturbed if you try to talk to them. It's like a deer in headlights, that an actual human being is talking to you in person.

      Maybe it started as a digital babysitter but they never quite outgrew it?

      If Free Morgan was asking me, I am generation X

        think about how scary a digital babysitter for adults could be if accepted.

    Yeah yeah...every generation after yours is terrible. Your generation slaved away so that the younger generation could squander it all... Said every boring old fart since the beginning of time.

      Of course none of us believe we have the same bad habits as our peers.
      Like the millennials, I bet most of them would deny that they are addicted to their phones.

        Really? My younger brother and sister would count as millennials (they were born in the 90s so I think that counts but I've seen different age brackets cited so I'm not sure) and they repeatedly tell me how they are addicted to their phones and couldn't live without them. Then again, they are just a tiny sample of their generation so wouldn't be fair to judge. Also they are probably joking. I hope...

        The problem with labeling generations is that what constitutes a "generation" seems to be getting shorter.
        It used to be like ever 20 to 25 years but now it seems like every three or four years.

          I'm not sure what you mean. Its still nearly twenty years. Millennial are born from 1980 to 1994. Generation Z is from 1995 to 2012. The generation being born now is Generation Alpha which was born from 2013 and lasts until 2025.

          Labeling generations is used for marketing and sociology, mostly, and its not confusing if you've studied either or. The idea of generations is surely a human invention but useful for research nonetheless.

    I dont care what you do.
    But, when Im driving.
    Get your shit together.
    If youre dawdling in a crosswalk while Im stuck with a green light.
    But have to wait for you to walk out of the way, while you text.
    If you cant turn a corner because only one hand is steering the car.
    If youre all over the road as you try to send an emoji.
    YOU just made it my business.
    Ive seriously considered slamming my breaks and getting rear ended.
    Because you are looking at your phone.
    Not the road, its guaranteed your fault.
    Havent done it yet.
    I care about my car.
