Almost every day I see a new video or post on Facebook dogging millennials and generation Z'ers. They think we're spoiled, ignorant, whiny and dumb. They blame us for the way the world is going and constantly say they're scared of the future if we are in charge.

What bothers me the most about this is, like with most things in life, one person or a group of people doing something wrong is not a reason to judge all of us. Yes, I agree that there are some millennials who post too quickly on the internet or who still don't know how to write a check, but there are 10 more who are innovating technology, helping cure diseases and countless other great things that older generations never did.

A family friend shared a video of a "millennial" in a job interview sitting on her phone and saying her technology strengths were "Instagram and Pinterest." I do not know one person who would ever be this ignorant. People are painting us in this light saying we are doomed but how many of us actually act this way? Isn't it the older generations who raised us? Who taught us in school? Who made the decision to stop teaching cursive? Who decided we should all take pre-calculus instead of learning to balance a checkbook?

How is any of this our fault?

I know few adults who do not have a Facebook profile and praise it for keeping them connected to friends and family. Where would that be without Mark Zuckerburg, arguably the most successful millennial ever?

Or Brian Chesky, another successful millennial responsible for what I know my mom is thankful for, Airbnb. What about Andrew Mason, the creator of Groupon? Or even Sean Rad, the creator of Tinder. I know people happily married because of this app and ones like it, millennials and older.

Times are changing.

Millennials and younger generations are adapting to this change. The people complaining are the ones who aren't. If we didn't adapt to change, we would still be blood-letting people who have the flu. Or sending snail mail when an email is delivered instantly.

Adapting to change is not just business or technology. Research has proven certain foods can cause cancer or heart disease, so younger generations and some from the others are changing their diets. Once we concluded that cigarettes caused cancer, didn't (most) people quit and try to avoid them?

That's adapting to change.

TV personality and entrepreneur Oprah Winfrey even addressed this adaptation to change when it comes to racism.

In an interview with BBC correspondent Will Gompertz, even Oprah said:

"It would be foolish to not recognize that we have evolved, in that we're not still facing the same kind of terrorism against black people in mass. Are there still places where people are terrorized because of the color of their skin, because of the color of their black skin? Yes. But there are laws that have allowed us to progress beyond what we saw in 'The Scottsboro Boys' and beyond the – even prejudice that we see in 'The Butler.' As long as people can be judged by the color of their skin, the problem is not solved."

There are still generations of people, older people, who were born and bred and marinated in it – in that prejudice and racism — and they just have to die."

Unfortunately, there will always be people who are set in their ways and don't recognize the new obstacles young people face.

Millennials spend a good chunk of their lives paying back student debt, because God forbid you don't have a degree on your resumé. We're expected to fix all of the economic issues older generations passed down to us. We're always expected to be "better" than generations before but they don't recognize all the good that we do.

So next time you feel inclined to degrade the newer generations, think about if maybe it's you that hasn't adapted to this new world.
