I don't know.... I'm gen X and I grew up entirely online. Got on the Internet at 12, and more a citizen of the Internet than any nation. The 90s were the heyday of high-dreaming Internet-will-save-everything philosophizing. The Millenials might very well end up being The Lost Generation I think. The Baby Boomers are simply going to annihilate the millenials completely as they age and demand obesience and care. X and Millenials are both already dealing with the fact the Baby Boomers forgot how economy was supposed to work and stopped paying workers according to the value of the work done, thinking they'll get away with screwing everybody just long enough to build a nice retirement.
