“So is this the Laziest Generation? There are signs that its members benefit from lower standards. Technology has certainly made life easier. But there may also be a generation gap; the way young adults work is simply different.

Even Aristotle and Plato were said to have expressed similar feelings about the slacker youth of their times.”
