Oh honey, no. They made it worse, but it was fucked up long before they got there.

Yep. Not only is it an annoying stereotype, but it also doesn't provide for any sort of nuance or discussion of the different ways each generation helps or hurts a situation.

I teach at small liberals arts college, and I have to bite my tongue and not scream when one of my older colleagues says, "These kids don't know anything because they're all on their cell phones!" or my recent favorite, "If you took the internet away from them, they wouldn't know what to do."

I tend not to over-react when I see students working in ways I didn't (like writing an essay on their phones), but some professors make it their hobby to decide that millennials are worthless. They seem to have forgotten that "Adapt, Adopt, and Improve" is good advice.
