A pretty good overview of the millennial generation and why they behave how they do.

And this is why they cannot afford mortgages
new iphone every 18 months
100 a month data package for fb
xbox, pklaystation or both
600 inch tv seat and massive sound system in the bedroom so they can
Enjoy their Netflicx and skysports package when

Sigh. My generation just stayed in with black and white tv and saved up but gues we were just dumb

Reminds me of last week when I was in KL on a train during peak travel time. Jammed in like sardines and everyone gazing down into their phone.
Get back to PP airport and caught a City Bus,,, standing room only,, jammed in like sardines,,,, but everyone talking. Hardly one person looking at a phone.

The whole instant gratification thing is what really struck a chord with me. Building relationships with people takes time and effort. Its not something i am fond if doing either but over time i do it. It us one of the reasons why , after 8 years working for my current employer, i am reluctant to move. I "know" everyone and they know me. They "know" i am reliable and i know how the school operates. This didn't happen overnight and i am loathe to throw this hard earned trust away for some minor problem that we can work out to our mutual benefit.

It seems to me older generations have always had difficulty understanding the the younger age groups and complain about them as they come along, it's always been the same.

This is of course very true, the phone thing is out of hand though. It seems like no one can experience anything without "sharing it", or "pics or it didn't happen".
Walking in Bangkok one day I saw I woman walk into traffic, eyes glued to her phone, I managed to grab her as a taxi ran over her foot. After she recovered a bit I asked her what was so important on her phone that she would die for it. "I was posting to Instagram"...
Maybe I should have let Darwin do his thing

People in their 60's now experienced a very different work environment than what prevails today. In the 1960's and 1970's it was much easier to get well paid work in entry level jobs and spending power was much higher.

Japanese etiquette video for foreigners attending the 2020 Olympics.

On the bus, foreigner starts talking on the phone.

Big no no.

Must text on the phone, not talk. Must respect the peace and privacy of others. Texting is encouraged, talking is not.

Go figure.
