What is wrong with young people now?

We have some young guys (19-23ish) at work who are dang good guys. A bit awkward around the older guys at first, but they come around soon enough. They seem to enjoy the ribbing once they get comfortable, and they love to cut up and talk smack, but they work hard and want to learn their trade. I suppose some are anti social, but that hasn't been what I've experienced in recent memory.
 
They have little to no social skills because most of their day is spent not interacting with human people. They interact with their XBOX, PlayStation, Iphones, media sites like YOUTUBE, tweeting, texts and chat rooms. This is normal to them.
 
Cellphones have been a mixed blessing.
Social media has been and is a curse.

Most young people will not even call each other, only text message.
After "s'up" they are lost.
 
I agree with you not only are there Speaking skills lacking, I have trouble understanding what they are saying, my son usually translates for me, plus I'm having trouble with there looks it's getting hard determining if I'm speaking to a women or man.
