What a wonderful time to be alive! In the past generation we’ve seen so much innovation. Some might say our quality of life has actually gone up in the past generation. We went from Zach Morris phones to miniature consoles, small enough to fit in our back pockets, that have enough oomph to play amazing games and surf the Internet at multiple megabits per second. I believe the Macbook Pro I’m typing on right now is more powerful than the first Cray. Things should be pretty good now, but they aren’t. We’ve innovated so much, but as a whole we still suck.
How do I know this? Suck is all around me. Constantly it is pointed out to me that the things I like suck. I read it in blogs and magazines, and I see it on the radio. I’m quite sure that I’m a part of the problem. I actually like Linux on the desktop and I prefer my Android phone to the iPhone, so I must suck – at least according to the anonymous posters to various message boards. But I’m not the only one who sucks, because I’ve read that people who like their iPhones and their Macs and even Windows suck too. Don’t believe me? Try clicking here or here or even here.
What a wonderful time we live in? We live in the age of Suck. The age where something sucks if doesn’t fit your tastes or whims. The age where we don’t care about other’s situations; where we only care about ourselves and our often opulent needs.
Maybe they were wrong to name this generation the Millennials. Perhaps we should have named it the Me-linnials.
