Interesting article I found today about Gen Y's

Gen Ys blame technology for their foibles | NEWS.com.au

here is a quick excerpt from the article;

Young Aussies may come in for much criticism, but it seems that neither we, nor our parents, are ever really to blame for our actions.
Computer games made us lazy, television made us stupid and now websites are making us violent.

At least we're putting the blame where it really lies - technology is out to get us.

The tendency of older generations to assume the worst of new technology is an ancient and familiar dance. First they will dismiss it as serving no practical purpose.
So what do you think, do you really beleive that technology is changing the way we think, or do we just have more places to expose ourselves?
