Each generation blames the next for society's ills....been that way for way too many years. And it will continue that way when, as Milkman referred to in his post, we have run out of alphabet labels.

It is not a generalization. Study after study shows that young professionals have a much better adoption of new technology and have a preference for remote work environments. Of course there are exceptions to the rule. But this is backed by data.
And by the way, these aren't always great things. Yps are less sociable because they are used to online and mobile interaction and are easily distracted and have short attention spans because they multi-task. Working remote has many disadvantages to it including failure to often build good office team relationships. It's a matter of preferences bit as of right now, the world isn't geared for this generation yet. That's starting to change.
