What’s with the new generation: Griping on Generation Y, the Millenials

These young things have less of an idea of hard graft; Food for thought in how the end goals we seek to obtain are nothing without the journey or sacrifice behind them-- i.e. free goals are worth less!; Stop 'liking' on Facebook! ; Iran set to launch its own internet (not just domain or social network, but internet) and building castles in cyberspace.

This generation Y expects more and has access to more, arguably, in terms of technology and tools, but expects to work less.

what’s with the new generation?

Work not connections were what got us far in 'our' time! This new generation of 'Millennials' as they're sometimes touted, knows little of moving 'beneath', around and away from your 'station' and just mucking in for the greater good and faith in hard work paying off. We were not a snobby generation - we knew that multi-skills and down-to-earth came hand in hand. It was all character building. Now these newbies think they have the right to say no and FaceBook about it! Honestly. "I climbed my career path step by step… I started as a Junior, a Senior and then a Director.. I didnt skip to “MANAGER” like most the fresh graduates are looking to do, so that means I know the load and kind of work you need to do to reach higher levels.. We used to do everything and anything without anyone asking us to.. If anything was needed even if it wasn’t within our scope of work we would make sure its (sic) done as fast as possible.."

5 reasons why i hate facebook-Like competitions

Hating on the Facebook Like function! Dislike this post anybody? We feel liking it might insult the author. (!) "I recently realized how marketing agencies and digital agencies are abusing the “like” function on Facebook just to sell. Basically, most of competitions in our region (as in MENA) are now based on “liking” to win. Which is totally messing up the concept of Facebook promoting."

Iran set to launch its own Internet

Ruling the oceans by the web is the new Empire-building it seems. Or building castles in cyberspace, if you like. It's no longer about the nation state, but about the internet sovereignty. Define your own internet and you own a kingdom! "As if it weren’t enough that Iran has already figured out how to foil America’s ‘Internet in a Suitcase’ before it has even come into existence, Iranian Communications Minister Resza Taqipour has announced plans for Iran to get its own Internet by the end of August."
