But like I said, anonymously stirring on the web is a GenY thing and way uncool.


Why is it that we want to label a generation anyway? The lemon doesnt fall fare from the tree
It is the same sh!t different year.
Is your generation the same as the "bra boys"? They upset a few people but didnt use a keyboard

Being an old guy I guess you laugh at your kids when they do stuff and they think you don't understand, but you know very well you have been there and done that so you know how they think, right!
The young minds of 40yrs ago think much the same as young ones today, we just have different tools at our disposal to go about our life.
No longer do you wait till school to tell all your mate what you got up to on the weekend.

I bet your great grandparents chin dropped when they seen some young person at the beach wearing a bikini or Boards shorts and wondered what is the world coming to

Well I am sure you have seen the actions of plenty of sh!t stirers in your time.

This thread is more about human nature, there would be just as many older people that have been sh!t stirers all there life and would rebal in this new technology and get almost instant gratification from it

Whether its kiting, lawnbowls or what eva, the sport is just a small sample of the greater community.


Why is it that we want to label a generation anyway?

For the reason that they differ and to study with social science.

No, the brain is evolving and can be wired very differently.

The tools you use have a profound impact on life.

No way. As people have become less connected in a real way to real people the standards wrt manners and in general the way people get along, has deteriorated.

Wildly generalising and averagising the standard of living is always statistically increasing but the quality of life is not. People say that man is even devolving wrt attributes that were favourably selected over Eons of time.

It has been better in the old days. It is better in less urbanised environs. A simple test is the survivability of people should you transport them forward or back in time.

Mark_australia what do you consider to be GenY? There are different ways of looking at this because there is no universally agreed upon time frame. I consider myself GenY but with my 24 years of age I guess I can say I am fully mature. Spelling mistakes that I might make are not due to me being from the 'internet generation', it's because English is not my first language.

What I am trying to get to is; people that are considered GenY are (as I see it) born in 1980 to about 1995. However when you are born in say, 1982 that means that you are now 29/30. If you are born in 1995 that means that you are now 16/17. There is a VERY significant difference in behavior between these ages. I think I don't really need to explain the difference as we can all see it by just going to a shopping center sometime.

Morale of my story, I don't think it is so much a generation issue, it's just a maturity issue. GenY is still too split up in age related behavior to be considered as the core problem for kitesurfing becoming like this. Half of GenY is still very young and the other half is already very mature.

Dusta, well I guess that's better than Mrs Palmer and her five daughters.

But tell us, what do you really think?
