I am a firm believer that every generation is smarter, not the opposite. Otherwise, civilization would go backwards and not forward. Whether the older folks like how the world changes around them circles back to the change principle, people typically hate change. We like our comfort zones and that’s it. When that gets ruffled, all hell breaks loose. “These kids thesedays, they don’t know what it means to work to make a living.” So we may think Gen Z are lazy and don’t want to work when the reality is they are finding better or easier ways to make the same living, or better, than we ever have.
