Terror and Destruction will follow!!!" articles are really beginning to irritate me. Honestly, must we pick apart EVERY PHASE a person goes through in their life and talk shit about how Gen Y is incompetent at something, and then a year later talk about how now that they're competent at that, they're incompetent at something else? WE CALL IT LIFE. EVERYONE MUST LEARN IT. ANYONE WHO PRETENDS THEY HAVEN'T HAD TO LEARN EACH STAGE IN SOME ITERATION IS A BULLSHITTER. Thank you. These “Gen Y is abnormal!

People like to be treated with the same respect and courtesy be it on facebook or face to face. Certainly there is a time and place for quick correspondence over IM or other, but in person professional etiquette must be blended in with any positional training. Interacting solely with a screen eventually begins to detach people from the fact that they ARE affecting others with their digital communications and causes them to become increasingly lackadaisical in their interpersonal skills over time.

I think the solution is for students and companies to meet earlier and over meaningful work. It isn't about more tweets or fb messages, it's about developing relationships around doing things.
