With the ignorance of facts, by choice, and lack of some education, Generation ‘Y’ is considered to be the dumbest generation. “Ignorance of facts” simply means that the education is there but this generation just
another generation. My generation and my parents aren’t the same, of course. I find it immensely fascinating that a group of people born within the same twenty year frame could all be so similar in how they were raised, thus leading to how they act becoming similar.

According to Mark Bauerlein, those who were born after 1982, known as Generation Y, are the world’s dumbest generation. Bauerlein argues that this generation is not meeting the standards that he believes today’s technology should allow them to reach and it is hard to argue with all of his statistics on test scores, but Bauerlein obviously does not understand this generation.
