We are the Coolest Generation!!!

I happened to like the video because it did a great job at showing different views and sides of the story. I agreed with many of the things the reporter said, for example, the fact that we can text, multi-task, figure out things in the computer. etc. Its not our fault that we are smart when it comes to using new technology. Another thing he pointed out is that we like to get compliments when we do a good job, or excell at work, its natural that everyone likes their hard work to be recognized. I do believe, that in fact we are changing the work place and making it better for the future generations. No longer are adults wearing ties and suits everyday even if its super hot outside, in some work places you are permitted to wear jeans and a nice shirt, especially fridays. I think we care about ourselves just enough and we DO care for other people. I specially like to help my classmates or friends suceed either at work, in school or in their relationships. I dont agree with the fact that they describe us, as arrogant, self centered and selfish. First of all i think the video did a good job at describing our personality but also exagerated and generalized a little bit. Not all of the Millenium Teens are self centered and only care about themselves. Not all of them are careless about their jobs or think they deserve everything. There are some that dont even know how to handle a cellphone. In addition, not all of us depend on our mothers to get "the job done." Personally, i like to depend on myself, i dont need to call my mom, so she can call my teachers, nevertheless my boss. I believe in this part of the video they exaggerated because they made us look as inmature, dependent, worthless teenagers that cant handle their own life. I surely know that i wont be moving back with my parents after i graduate and i can be sure almost none of my peers will. This generation likes to suceed, become independent, achieve their goals. It is true that we might be computer savey, we can multi-task and always want to be number one, however, that is the way we have been raised by our parents. Parents are the foundation for our future life. If my parents told me when i was a little girl i could be anything i wanted, i would probably have growned up to believe and achieve that idea. Therefore, I believe, our behavior/personality is molded by our parents and they are the ones that have taught us to be this way. Moreover, new inventions (sidekick, iphone, PSP) are created everyday, making us their number one target. I believe we are the product of our parents and our surroundings.
