Uh sure, but for every Facebook there are a ton of things that young people embrace as important, from tech products like the one you mention, to bits of pop culture and art, and even political ideas that ultimately they reject and so eventually agree with their elders who rejected them too. I mean, who didn't go through their "Ayn Rand phase?" My point isn't that these are unhealthy things or that the young are unable to see things others can't, my point was that telling the young that if they feel passionate about something and others roll their eyes, the fact they are young is an insufficient reason to them assume others must be "wrong" to not value it, and doing so will lead to negative consequences since it will undermine empathy for those who have more experience.
