I have been studying what ticks off laziness for 4 years now, and I find this study not only insulting, but utterly incorrect. I'm 17 and have been multitasking on and off the computer since I was about 7. Every teenager I know was raised pretty much the same way. We are forced to multitask with school, work, social lives, world issues, everything. Teenagers are people too, we aren't just numb to the rest of the world. The reason my generation doesn't get along with the previous generation is because they think we aren't as smart as them, and thats just absolutely absurd. We are lazy to issues that seem unimportant to us, like making a bed for example. Whats the goddamn point? You're just gonna sleep in it the next night and mess it up again.
Oh, and VonSkippy, I can't wait for you to have kids. Cause they are going to be a tad messed up. Cell phones, computers, game consoles and ipods are not mere "entertainment" to children of today. They are a means to gain new information at a very rapid rate. To just take it away for not cleaning the table should be unheard of in todays technological society. What you're doing is disconnecting them from the rest of the world. Real nice parenting bud, but we aren't dogs.
