Question of the Day: Laziest Generation

There was an interesting article posted on CNN.com Monday afternoon entitled "Are Social Media Creating the Laziest Generation?"

The gist of the opinion piece, written by comedian Dean Obeidallah, is that social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have turned a generation of potential "doers" into a generation of lazy people.

The article states, "Will our generation leave a lasting legacy or just millions of snarky tweets?"

Is it true that social media has halted the progress of a potentially brilliant generation? Are Facebook and Twitter a good thing? What are your thoughts on the use of social media in today's world?
