I think you will find it's the ' old timers '  who invented the internet and mobile phones.
Nothing new has been invented in the last 40 years

As I say every generation blames the one before,but blaming can not change any second of the past,the under 30 year olds have starting the ball rolling by voting in the powers that be at the moment,but 77% of currant voters admit that they don't understand politics and could not mention a member of the white house,but a very high percentage of the same people party at least 5 nights a week,of every week of the year.And most thieve to feed their addiction of booze and drugs.94% of them have a gun.

cheap booze and dope don't help lets face it

Every generation has it 's mindless morons sadly they get the most publicity as they shout the loudest (empty vessels make the most noise).

I am 27 and a part of this worst generation ever. I won't defend my generation. Because ive been hearing this eversince i was born and i guess i was in my early teens when i thought, surely every generation must think the same about the next generation? I was constantly told shampoos and face creams weren't there in my parents times. Its a scam. It'll turn my hair white. That the food i was munching on was not good. that computer was destroying the generation. and a lot of similar crap that wasn't necesarily wrong, but what was the point?

Also, when you blame the next generation, aren't you actually accepting that you were yourself among an even worse generation? Because the generation didnt invent anything on their own. They all lived their lives according to what resources had been given to them by the previous generation. You could argue that they should use the resources(like phones, laptops) in a better way, rather than playing games all day. But even then, it can be argued that it was the previous generation that was unable to bring up the kids in the right way.

And when i see people who are in their teens now, it is laughable what difficulties they face in life. And they call it stress. I thought you were stressed or worried when your parents died and you were young, or you were diagnosed with a bad disease. But nowadays stress is when your welfare money runs out. or when you havent studied for the exam. Of course I think about these kids the same way as you do, but whats the point? Every generation does that, dont they? Is there any older person here who actually heard his parents say, son, your generation is definitely better than ours?

INTERNET  January 1, 1983

so maybe he meant  30 years

you're talking cr^p brassneck , do you live in America

the Internet didn't even exist 40 years ago , did you even have a house phone , a microwave ....

though the kids of the day didn't invent any of the above!

like evreything My Meerkat friend  the public get access  depending on who /where /how rich they are .  I seem to recall folk talking about the interent as some very weird place in and around 1996/7

didn't use it 'til 2000

i recall seeing phones in use around 86  - mainly BT workers - didn't have one of my own until 1998 

1988

I was 7 (1983) we were poor so had no phone, my old man was permanently away working & doing courses, but the nice lady next door had a house phone & she'd kindly let us go next door once a week to say hello to my dad! think my mom gave her about 50p

but when i vote, im voting for someone from the older generation. If we are the last generation, then its the generation before us that has to be held accountable. Because if the people we've voted in destroy the world(say US/Russia war), its your generation, not mine. Comparing generations is an exercise in futility. Placing the blame on one geneation doesn't make sense because its the generation before that that determines how this generation grows up.

You mentioned the generation being 1988 onwards. We've only lived less than half our lives and probably none of us have reached the level where we can impact politics, education etc. So its really harsh to call us the worst generation ever based on half our lifespan. Probably 40 years down the road you'll be in a position to judge this generation. But I am 200% sure we'll already have started blaming the next generation by then. Again, im not interested in defending any generation, the comparison is simply meaningless.

Einstein did all his best work in his twenties, and did nothing of note for the next 60 years
that's natural.

who created the new art form of the 20th century, rock music ?
Young people dead at the age of 27

who created Impressionism the new form of painting, never seen before.
men in their 20s
that's how it works

It's how us Brummies talk (though I don't have a heavy Brummie accent)
It's always been Mom in our family .. after all it's what I'd say to her face .. Mum is for Snobs .. I mean do you actually call your Mom .. MUM ...or is it Mummy !

Jesus %^&* Christ you may as well just wait on her with a Porcelain Bedpan

yes the Yam yams (Black country) say Mam (that's the cheapest name you can call her) Brummies a lot say Mom (middle range - not disrespectful) Snobs Mum (Mummy!)

HTH

Why does everyone get so angry on here?

I'm obviously not a classless dope so why say that? Is it because you think you can type whatever you want with impunity?
