Lets look at the other side of the coin. I'm assuming most of you grew up in the cold war generation. What if instead of inventing the internet, networked supply chains, automated assembly lines, new round up ready corn, and other high yield crops, you all spent your time digging underground bunkers, stockpiling food, and training for the inevitable Russian invasion? Our world would look completely different today, and as a society we would be 10-20 years behind our current technological level. Which means you wouldn't have this discussion board to post on.
Same goes today, I'm a 20 something, and if my generation spent their time prepping for the "inevitable" EMP blast, or hostile government takeover, we wouldn't have new reusable rockets which cut the cost of space travel dramatically, we wouldn't be pioneering "green" energy sources (thats another topic for another day), we wouldn't be able to coordinate with other people across the planet to solve real world problems.
How many of you pioneered a new piece of tractor technology that revolutionized the way a farmer operates? I get the feeling most of you reaped the benefits of high output hydraulic pumps, high HP compact tractors, High yield crops, and maybe even gps planting/fertilizing methods. But very few, if any of you actually invented or pioneered any of these things, yet here you are complaining about how this "new generation" cant get anything done or think outside the box. They may not be able to fix a '56 JD, but most of them can debug a standard tablet or PC which is the tool of today.
With today's generation, the people developing new rockets, automated cars, and networked systems aren't checking you out at the Walmart, just like in your day the parts delivery boy wasn't expected to know how to fix the tractor, just knew what package to drop off where. The milk man was expected to be able to keep a record of his deliveries and accounts, but couldn't tell you what genomes you need to cross to breed a better milk cow.
Dont judge a generation because you had a bad experience with someone making minimum wage, minimum wage is an employers way of telling you "I would really pay you less than this, but that would be illegal"

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
