    No, Silent Generation did that about Boomers.

      Every new generation faces some form of peril touted to be the coming of end times by the outgoing generation. From a 50,000-ft view of the collective, it looks gross and seems like there’s no end in sight. However, individuals can still take responsibility to find a balance between excesses that society provides and complete avoidance of any forms of entertainment.

        Each generation saying that the next is having their attention span diminished by new media may seem "gross" to you, but that feeling hardly proves any of them wrong.

  10 minutes watching YouTube is 10 minutes of your life you'll never get back. I 2x everything unless it needs to be experienced in realtime.
