Millennials grew up with constant communication through MSN, IM, BBM, Skype, etc. And then things moved to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn everything and everyone is at our fingertips.
You can't take any credit for that - it was all built by the Gen X types you're so contemptuous of.
Thanks for your comment gaius,
I was not saying that we can or should take credit for those applications. I was simply trying to point out that we were the first generation to grow up with the internet around us and with these applications that connected everyone!
