Interesting clip but the pretext is nonsense. Every generation thinks their kids are wasting time, lethargic, etc. until they make grandchildren and so must have learned something right all along.
The unusual reality is that the world has never been a better place, filled with more opportunity than ever before. We're just much more aware of every bit of badness that goes on as well, and it's easy to be overwhelmed if you let it.
Glad to see I'm not the only one struggling with understanding millennials. Business people don't know how to deal with the new influx of millennials and their expectations. There are many issues and concerns on both sides - see my article on http://blog.startupprofessionals.com titled "Facebook or Faceoff" for some specifics.

I'm sorry but this is a dull saccharin waste of time and attention.
