I found a nice article about the Millennial generation in the workforce from PC World Canada. It is merely one perspective on this generation (that is still defining itself, actually), but it seems balanced to me and doesn’t play into the hype.

For instance, while it talks about this generation’s tendency to use text messaging (and all the mis-spellings and abbreviations that go with it), that doesn’t mean this generation can’t write or speak. As one Georgetown University sophomore put it:

"Five minutes after [students] write their one-line text messages, they go to class and take five pages of notes or go back to their rooms and write 10-page research papers," he says. "I think the world is absolutely valuing speed over quality, but that doesn’t mean we’re incapable of appropriately expressing ourselves."
