I'm not saying that people my age don't drink or other things mentioned, but it doesn't mean that we all are like this!  I hate how the media creates this image of teenagers and college students... apparently we are all binge-drinking, partying, prescription drug-popping, energy drink- chugging, materialistic "kids" and we can't be trusted.  As a freshman in college, I believe the generations that precede my generation are extremely unconnected to us as we are completely unconnected to them. And the thing is that our elders "think" they understand us, try to understand us, and yet they really don't.  I think there needs to be more open communication between these age gaps.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nicky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 7th 2008 11:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm a current college student, I barely ever use WiFi since good old Ethernet cable access is fine for me, and I've never drank a drop of alcohol in my life. So I guess I would break that poll.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vorian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 7th 2008 11:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[I see what you mean.  I blame this gap on technology and  computers.  Before now people were never getting this old and detatched with reality.  Like they say an old dog doesn't learn new tricks.  A really old dog is the same but it forgot the ones it learned or the ones it used to know do not work anymore.  We were never really meant to have a meaningful connection with our predecessors, we were just meant to bring flowers to their graves but now we bring prune juice to their TV trays.  No wonder the younger generation is the way it is.  I would be forced to drink to if I had to put up with the older generations bulls---oh wait I do.  Bottoms up.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dedbus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2008 4:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not a stereotype of your generation it's a stereotype of college kids from every era. College kids in your parents and your grandparents generation did the same things, they just didn't have wifi to distract them. In fact, they probably got away with a lot more drinking and alcohol-related antics because there was no MADD, no D.A.R.E. etc. <br><br>Ask your parents about that if they went to college, or what they spent their weekends and evenings doing during their college-age years. If they don't tell you any awesome stories they are either lying to you or they were complete stiffs.<br><br>As for the rest of the article.... The key in this day and age is to find a bar that provides free wi-fi. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mase]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2008 10:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[Okay I see what your saying and you are right that this is the issue with every generation that goes through this period in their lives, however, I was talking about the other stereotypes that go along with my generation.  For example, like I stated before, we all apparently steal prescription drugs from our parents medicine cabinents and abuse them in hopes of getting high.  Yes, some people are guilty of that, I'm not saying that no one does that, but I don't know anyone who does that.  And once again, we are all apparently materialistic brats that don't care about anyone other that ourselves.  Some people are like that,  but I am not and know people who aren't like that.  The media sets up these stereotypes that gets elder people to believe we are all like this and therefore they don' trust us.  I don't know about other people my age but I see this type of discrimination all the time, first hand.  <br><br>Also, I do talk to my parents and have a great relationship with them and they have told me about things they have done or seen in college.  Ordinary college students that did the typical college things.  Lest not forget they weren't doing the dreaded "underage drinking" then since the drinking age was 18.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nicky]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 9th 2008 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[Now that's Church!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kiev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 7th 2008 11:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not that they are studying more, but they are NOT willing to give up their addiction to pornography and stealing free movies and music using Wi-Fi moreso than anything else.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JJ]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 11th 2008 6:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/10/07/many-college-students-prefer-wi-fi-to-beer-study-claims/</guid><description><![CDATA[One day soon we will all make good computer slaves for our new alien Masters who will usher in the future of possible peace, or definite death...<br>~ Have a nice day! ~]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Poindexter McSmash]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 8th 2008 12:01AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
