Sherry Turkle argues in her article How Computers Change the Way We Think that computers have dramatically changed the way we are thinking, not only about computers but in life in general. Turkle argues that computers have been helping people due to their convenience and easy of use, and she used an example of a writer to show her point. The essence of Turkle’s essay is that computers have created a new way of thinking, and that millennials are taking it with stride. Millennials are becoming more efficient because of their adaptability to the technology they are presented with. Turkle explores how millennials are always trying to cut corners and figure out the fastest and effortless way to get jobs done. The intended audience is well educated people, specifically well educated people who read The Chronicle. Turkle supports the idea that millennials are far from lazy, they are innovators. Catherine Rampell wrote the article A Generation of Slackers? which critically addresses what is happening with the millennials’ work habits. She supports the notion that generation gap is what is driving conflict between generations, and that if this animosity did not exist the baby boomers could come to understand how the millennials work, and also have the millennials make some compromise too. Catherine Rampell agrees with Turkle on the point that millennials are just misunderstood and are starting off in jobs on the wrong foot. Both authors are sympathetic for millennials, and are not overtly for one side or the other.
The Millennials in the Workplace, a satirical video made by Official Comedy, shows the “lazy” millennial in a satirical way. This video hurts the millennial even though its satire. People see this video and laugh about it, but realize some parts hold truth to them. Millennials can act normal in the workplace and be productive, and people do realize this, however the video does contain bad press for the millennial.
