I saw the title and thought:

What do the kids have these days!?!? Syphilius and iPods!

Credit to mhitman and maybe others to beating me to this joke.

*sings* What's the matter with kids today...

Answer: Probably the same thing adults thought were wrong about your generation.

But seriously, I do notice how pushy kids are. I had a ten year old call me a '******' a couple weeks ago because I bumped into him at a store. I'm not gay, but i was still offended, and told him that he shouldn't use that word. He then challenged me to a fight, and when I refused he then called me a 'pussy'. Hilariously his mom came and took him away around then, and the man at the nearby counter said "you see that woman? That's her fault."

I work for my college over the summer tutoring "economically disadvantaged," mostly inner-city kids (I'm from New Jersey so inner-city means Atlantic City/Philadelphia/NY). One thing I noticed is just that: kids are pushy and rude. Another thing is that they've got no attention span. I had to shut down all the computers in our classroom just to get them to pay attention, and they felt they had the god-given right to check their Facebooks every ten minutes. It was pretty unnerving and the death of the attention span is what really scares me about technology.
