While I admit there a ton of graduates that in my opinion shouldn't have the degree, articles like this pop up everywhere. I'm sure for the last "generation" of college graduates (baby boomers or something), similar articles were written and people got just as upset. It reminds me of some quote that I don't have memorized perfectly but it's something like this:
"This generation of students is corrupt, lacks responsibility, is violent, doesn't care about themselves or their future, has no motivation to further themselves academically, and has no common sense." - Some famous guy talking about the generation that George Washington came from.
I know how much gas is in my car and how much will get me to the gas station. All of my friends do also. As far as literacy goes, I agree whole heartedly with the article, but my parents and their colleages don't read or write much better. Why do I have to help them record something on the VCR even though the instructions explain it crystal clear? I think this is just a bunch of hooplah.
