The "older" generation always complains about the younger ones. And that has gone on since the days of Plato and Aristotle. Why! Back in my day, we walked 15 miles to school, and it was uphill both ways! Don't worry, in 10-20 years, the "facebooker generation" will be whining about the new kids of that era.
And perhaps one of the best satires of this eternal trend is a skit called The Four Yorkshiremen.

Why! Back in my day, we didn't have any of those new fangled programming languages like C and assembly, we programmed in ones and zeros. And we were too poor to have zeros so we carved them out of potatoes. And we liked it!
People slowly get more ethical/moral as they age - slowly enough that the change isn't noticable - instead they think that they were always "this way." If your older self could meet your younger self, your older self would probably complain about the lazy good-for-nothing younger self as well. People grow up. Our civilization won't burst into flames because the young punks are here - in 20 years, those young punks will be "the establishment" and complaining about the newer punks.
