What, if anything, do you think young people can teach adults?

Should young people always listen to their elders? Some claim that older generations are "out of touch" and unable to offer meaningful advice to the young, while others believe that wisdom can come only with age. Which age group offers the most valuable opinions, and how can the young and the old teach each other meaningful lessons?

    Jul 9 2011: Young people can teach the old to have more FUN at work! People are more productive when they are happy. I don't think this new generation will tolerate brutal bosses for long. We aren't brow beaten enough to accept too much crap just because earlier generations did.

    What did all those previous generations fight for if not to have us have it a bit better. Come on!
