Millennials haven't done any better from what I've seen and heard.
Every generation has generally sucked a little less than the last. I find that to be true today.
When you are tired after both parents come home from work I can understand why parents would set their kid in front of an ipad, thinking it's harmless. Only recently are we finding out that the algorithms became extremely addictive, destroy attention spans, and push alt right influencers on impressionable young men. I'm not going to allow my kid on any screen where they have free access to the algorithm until they are at least 16.
