Only in terms of access to information. Other than that, I'd say it's the complete opposite.

Realest thing I ever heard a teenager say
If you want to get a hold of me, CALL ME, I have a cell phone. It's a phone, not a damn text machine, not a tweet follower, and no, I don't have web on my cell phone so I can't check your stupid Facebook message. Texting is the worse by far. People OF ALL AGES use this as the easy way out: late or not showing up for work, not wanting to call someone back, breaking up, fighting, etc. Man/woman up and see em in person or at least call. I hate it when I call someone, leave a voicemail, and the damn person doesn't even have the courtesy to call me back, but instead texts me back. I'm not about to have a text conversation with you for 30 minutes when we could get it done over the phone in less than 5 minutes. You get a pass if you are in class, eating with a group, with fam, or at some important meeting for work.
And also, I don't want to know what you are excited about, what you are doing right now, or what just happened to you unless it's groundbreaking. Someone needs to put a stop to this FB status updates and Twitter stuff.
Yes, I'm mad.

ever?
you are sadly mistaken, have u forgotten Romans had the Colosseum and their bloody battles were seen as a spectator sport, like watching a normal football game? go look up what flaying alive is! during the inquisition, rumored witches were tortured and killed publicly... have you seen a public execution carried out? just now "real-life" violence has been taken out and now mimicked in video games and movies.

COSIGN to all,
it's mostly the high income kids that are lucky they have money to fall back on, that they do not realize what opportunities they have because they are surrounded by money.
when a middle income, lower income kid goes to partying and such. they are just wasting away their parents' time and work.
I believe that children are suppose to surpass their parents every generation, or at least match their parents success or lack thereof, but
due to lethargy and the "we DGAF attitude", that many teens will not match their parents and cause even more debt.This generation will have the most screw-ups for sure.
and texting and social networks have caused society to not be "social", some people judge others on the way they text? if you have to tell me something, call me.
I'm mad too, I'd rather have a quick conversation, then a lagging conversation with, whats up? nothing. cool, blahblahblah. on a text machine.

The internet is a crazy place. Definitely desensitized me.
Some of you sound hella old, as if texting is such a hassle. My fifty year old dad started texting us out of the blue, and I'm 21. Good friend of mine's grandmother is 79 years old and has an iPhone. Different types of communication is the way of the world.
Sometimes it's the convenience of a quick text for a quick answer. We live in a world where everyone is always in a hurry and on the go. Deal with it.
