Here is the question I have been pondering ever since I started reading this board:

Do young people today need to see every human interaction as a strict recipe or a formula? Does everything need to be boiled down into Input X delivers Result Y in order to make sense or be palatable?

I am just flabbergasted at the lack of ability to appreciate nuance, subtlety and the millions--billions--of variations in human personalities and relationships. It is a wasteland of emotional intelligence up in here.

Is this a Gen Y thing or just an Internet thing?

Internet thing. Older generations have been complaining about the newer generation's lack of emotional intelligence and morals since the middle ages. Humanity has not changed (we haven't had time too, 100,000 years of evolution is a spit in the ocean), the internet merely magnifies the negative.
