The Facebook Generation

Clicking “Like” on a Facebook page won’t meet the challenges that face our times, quips an editorial in The Christian Science Monitor. “To confront rogue nations, terrorists, energy issues, soaring debt, and other urgent problems that threaten America’s security, the Facebook generation has made… virtually no sacrifice at all. This must change. And it can. Just as the consumerism of the 1920s and isolationism of the 1930s gave way to the thrift and global engagement of the 1940s, so, too, can today’s young adults mature to take on severe challenges.”
