There is no denying that in some ways, millennials have had it harder than the generations that have come before them. Most have never had the level of security that their Boomer parents had. However, they have been the recipient of one big advantage, and that is being a part of the revolution in information communication technology. Grandpa just doesn't know his way around an iPhone the way a 30-year-old with 12 hours of daily screen time does.

This can lead to the generations having some wildly different ideas when it comes to the etiquette of things like social media, or texting. This is something that one millennial caused controversy with recently after he called out an older relative for simply messaging him "call me" with no further information when they wanted to speak about Christmas plans. While some people understood where he was coming from, many his own age and younger thought he was being unnecessarily impolite.
