But we have Common Core!! I’ll bet they would have scored well if they had been tested in Global Warming, Interracial Conflict, Gay Sensitivity, History of Black Servitude in the US, The Plight of the Polar Bear, Why Obama is America’s Greatest President, and Why Republicans are Racist.

I have two nephews... the older one(24) can barely keep a job to support his wife and 3 kids. The younger one (20) cant get out from in front of the video games long enough to get a job. I blame the parents.

Tech-savvy? No one made a big deal if we knew how to use a VCR.

A lot of them don't seem to have a grasp of reality. They think that total fiction they see in sitcoms is reality, and they don't know the difference between real news and political commentary.
So many people got their impression of Sarah Palin from that SNL skit.. they totally refused to actually listen to Palin herself, and they get angry if you try and explain the Alaska/Russia connection to them.
It's a sad situation for America.

Oh, I dunno, maybe a little but I meet some pretty bright ones every day. Seems the Boomer bashing of a year or so ago has morphed into Millennial mashing.
Yes, access to certain technologies can build some bad intellectual habits. But it's awfully nice to be able to Google and Wiki stuff up. The key isn't fact retention anymore, it's how it all fits together, and if you can't retain facts you can't hook 'em up. The 'puter can't do that for you.
I do wish they'd stay off my lawn, though.
