  I definatly agree with you, I also fall under the catagorey of gen Y and to tell you the truth I was a little offended by the article. As for pollution, the blame should not fall on our shoulders, it was the generations before us who polluted the earth. And now it is up to us to fix! If the past generations think that we are stupid they they shouldn't be depending on us to fix it. If they think that we are so dumb then they should work with us on how to improve our knowledge instead of sitting around and complaining about how "stupid we are." They are the ones teaching us, they set our world up this way and we didn't have the choice so we adapted, we didn't create i-pods, computers, the internet! we are just the consumers. In a way we are the smarter people because we have learned to adapt to change, while the past generations would rather use referencenes from their childhood!

  the idea that generation Y is dumber than other generations is ludacris, just because they don't remember facts does not mean that the are dumb, do you think that people born in the 60's know as much about computers as they do? I think not! They are smart in a different way then past generations. Besides I know many people belonging to generation Y and they could answer all of the above questions and have very intellctual conversations about them to.
