They don't have to go somewhere else, tons of work can be done from at home. Hell I'm running a company and working for another with only my mobile phone for internet access. I could go anywhere I wanted but I've a damp corner that I've grown accustomed to.

According to this article you're doing it wrong and should move to North Dakota.

Love to read an article on this topic written from the viewpoint of a young person instead of a 50 year-old who was raised in a period of enormous economic growth. Perhaps some young people are not "slouches", but are actually logical and evaluate pros/cons and decide to put down roots?

What an out of touch dude. I'm not sure he gets that the wealth is being created by our minds instead of our backs. I wonder if he could code anything he used to send or publish that article - or even if he understands even the absolute basics of how that series of tubes works. I doubt it.

If we're renaming generations, perhaps we can rename his the "You've Lead America Off a Cliff And Stiffed Your Children With The Bill." Generation.

Not catchy enough? Here are a few more to try on:

The "You Voted For SOPA" Generation

The "Civil Liberties? Overrated." Generation

The "Hey, I Don't Have To Go Fight That War" Generation

The "I Can't Email, But I Can Reform Washington" Generation

Well, you can move and shake from the comfort of your home - and that doesn't apply only to virtual/intellectual products. You can easily set up some kind of production in China, with worldwide shipping without even getting out of your house - I find that extremely fascinating.

And young people move quite a lot - in fact, more than the previous generations did. Just not from Nevada to North Dakota - heck, the city of Las Vegas has more people than the whole of North Dakota :-D
