Adam \u201cRuins Everything\u201d Conover was asked to give a keynote to a conference on marketing to millennials, and he brought the house down with an amazing speech about the absurdity of generalizations about generations, and about how all of the generalizations hurled at millennials have been slimed over every other generation, too.<\/p>\n

Moreover, all the things that people say about millennials\u2019 relationship to social media have been said about other media<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Remember: in 1790, novels had \u201cpoisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember: in 1816, the waltz was \u201cobscene display\u201d only fit for \u201cprostitutes and adulteresses\u201d and it was \u201ca duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember: in 1909, movies were a way for \u201cdepraved adults with candies and pennies beguile children with the inevitable result.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember: in 1926, the telephone was a scourge whose effect was to \u201cbreak up home life and the old practice of visiting friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember, in 1954, \u201cAll child drug addicts, and all children drawn into the narcotics traffic as messengers, with whom we have had contact, were inveterate comic-book readers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember: in 1956, \u201cThe effect of rock and roll on young people, is to turn them into devil worshippers; to stimulate self-expression through sex; to provoke lawlessness; impair nervous stability and destroy the sanctity of marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remember, in 2005, Hillary Clinton said that video games were \u201cstealing the innocence of our children\u201d and \u201cmaking the difficult job of being a parent even harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
