Stress fracture?

I laughed at the piece on the editorial page bashing millennials. But I was laughing at you, not with you.

That add-on piece of editorial just reflected how little you know about this younger generation. And since I’m fast approaching my 68th birthday, I feel like I’m qualifed to point it out to you.

My 24-yearold son and my

27- and 33-year old daughters are open windows to their friends in this generation. And while I hate everyone staring at their phones all the time, I can tell you they aren’t taking selfies and playing video games at Starbucks.

They are working! Every task they take on involves a phone and a laptop. And in case you don’t know, and you probably don’t, phones and laptops are no good without WiFi and a charged battery.

They are eons ahead of us. And getting stuff done twice as fast as we ever dreamed of. Most of their employers expect results now and with precision. And in working with the most technologically savvy generation, those corporations are trying to figure out ways to retain them for longer periods of employment. Why? Because as they use their technology and apps to order and track shipments, Facetime and Skype with business partners on the other side of the world

They are innovating and creating life improvements in every imaginable way. What’s amazing is they want to make the world a better place.

They already know and understand the importance of global relationships without regard to color, culture or religion, and they recognize the value of our stewardship when it comes to the planet God gave us.

So, John Wayne, while you’re wrestling crocodiles, Cossacks and the Black Death, these kids are working on ways to improve your life. And, while you’ve been slumped over your dinosaur keyboard for the last 40 years, remember that when you don’t know much about someone, don’t pretend you do.

My question? How would you know? WADE GREEN Camden
