Did You Raise an Idiot?

Just wondering if there are any other baby boomers out there that think the way I do. Please don't tell me that I'm the only one to realize how "dumb" the next generation (the one that we fathered or mothered) truly is. These mid twenty something young men and women for the most part are not as smart as we were when we were also that age back in the mid to late 70's, even with all the weed I smoked.

I just can not get over how "dumb" this generation is. They may be highly skilled in computers, Ipod's, and fancy gagets, but when it comes to easy stuff like making change of a twenty dollar bill at the local store or one of the easiest tasks in the world.......talking, it becomes extremely challenging to these young people. Why? How come you can text your fingers off but don't know how to answer a phone. That's even if you answer the phone.

You can say what you want. The 70's were the time to be in. Yes its pretty cool to be in the year 2010, especially when you reach my age (50 something). But if this generation that we produced are the next leaders of the world, then the world has more problems than you can even imagine.
