8. Don't underestimate how much tech has affected behaviour.

The millennials are first generation of heavy tech users. I think using computers and phones to communicate rather than face to face has had a negative effect on how people treat each other in person. I have seen texts that say "go kill yourself" and my grandson says that's normal. They are rude to their friends, at least they seem rude, but Gabe says that what I consider rude isn't to them. I'm just thinking that there has been a social shift because of the way people communicate and spend their time(free time is spent on social media)and I don't know if that will change.
