The Lost Net Generation
from the go-back-to-your-slovenly-ways dept
A short column wondering whether or not the current generation of internet over (and now under) achievers are giving up completely and going back to the "old" generation X "not caring about anything" slacker days. The writer is afraid that these people are too burnt out and bitter to have this much regret this early in life. Personally, I think people who are that burnt out take themselves too seriously, and that's always going to cause problems.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
