I've noticed that this 'Y' generation is more educated (mainly internet educated) in world issues and politics.
They seem to be brighter, when it comes to technology.
They ALL multi-task. Not that it's a good thing, it leaves much undone, or half-done.
They can't sit and do nothing; which, quite often means 'thinking'. They don't put much thought into any concept...don't have to, everything is
at their finger-tips.
They are a group of entitlement-minded. They want a reward for completing a 40 hour work week, or a promotion for doing their job.
They are all about teamwork. Teamwork on certain levels is great, but it leaves very few super-stars. They aren't as competitive as Gen Xers.
They may be more intelligent in some areas, but grossly lack social skills. By 'social' I'm referring to face-to-face chatting, not IM chatting
(they're wonderful a that! oh, and texting).
They aren't as athletic, as the Gen X, or Baby Boomers, at the same age.
They don't seem to have much drive, not as interested in developing a trade skill; rather, they concentrate on figuring out the world and all its
ills.

On another note:
We all think we are smarter, than the generation before us, when we are in our late teens to mid-twenties. It's natural, no really it is. It's a
portion of brain-development that doesn't mature until around 30.
Intelligence peaks around late twenty's. This is the period to develop new technologies, build new ideas, go where no man has gone before!

My father has always said that we're all born Democrat (or Liberal). We become Republican (Conservative) later in life, or after we've fully
matured.
He's a funny guy!
