Newer Generations Are More Laid-back

Well, the title is often the issue when it comes to doing work or being more proactive. Parents or older people would nag, and for good reason, force the younger ones to be less laid-back and do more stuff. This, if you think of it, has been going on since the dawn of time.

Every generation blames the newer one for being less proactive, more lazy more bla bla. Well, it is true because every generation has its own inventions and other stuff. The current generation is criticized for being too lazy because of 'compuhtah' and 'techmologi'. Well, let's put it this way, I bet the older generation would be as lazy as we are if they had what we had. With the exception of certain sports of course, this is true with video or console games.

Due to technological advances, life has been made easier. It's easier to have fun and to stimulate ourselves. However, the sight of people having things easy is ofthen confused with them being lazy. That's where I think the issue of lazy generations coming in to place.

Also, if you think of it, I bet the older generation were accused of being to laid-back by their previous generations. So, this whole cycle has been going on for ages. If an older person were to tell me or accuse me for being too lazy, my responce: So? I know I am lazy...It's actually your genration's fault for our whole lazy persona because your generation created TVs, Computers, Video Games so really its your generation's ambition that made us how we are today.

But that being said, the cycle will continue. We would view our children as lazier than ourselves and they would accuse their kids of being more lazy and so on.

Therefore people's accusation of this issue is really piontless...that's what I think.
