Meaning that they don't have to succumb to antiquated rules and social paradigms.
Kudos to them. I am (a very late) GenX, and I always hated that mentality. I work to live, not viceversa.
Yeah, expected bullshit cuz Forbes, but the psychologist actually knows what they're talking about about.
Doesn't outright say it, but the "problems" are all outdated shit boomers insist on keeping around because it's what they're used to.
Like, "face to face communication" not only isn't important now, it hasn't been for a long fucking time.
Even when you need to talk to someone one on one to figure something out. IM gives you a record of what was discussed to refer to
If I've got 20 things going on and someone wants a face to face or even a call, I'm very unlikely to remember the details a day later. IMs or emails, I can go back and get all the discussed info in like 2 minutes.
We're asking these kids to do shit that was outdated before they were born because the people in charge are at best in their late 60s and still are scared of computers.
They're just pissed life passed them by and the skills they have are outdated.
Well, this is all very subjective. Idk what you do for a living, but there are massive differences between fact to fact communication and IM/email.
To say it's outdated is just insane and flat wrong.
