She applies that Gen Y is so focused on what’s going on in the technology world that they are still able to get their work done.

Hiras second main point, she explains how Gen Y’s parents acted way differently than they do now. Gen Y’s parents, spoiled them. They always got what they wanted.

Even though Gen Y is difficult, cocky, and a different generation, Gen Y still get everything done with all the distractions they have going on in this new world of ours.
