  • Evan Pensel, 19, major: political science. “I would say Gen Z is lazy because of all the advancements in technology that we have now and how easy it is for them to access technology, like video games, computers, phones, and ipads. Kids these days don’t get outside very often, instead they sit inside all day and play video games or sit on their phones.”

  • Ryan Morgan, 20, major: supply chain. “I believe that the Gen Z generation is considered lazy due to the fact of the entitlement issues. Many kids think that the world will be confined to them and that everything will be given to them.”

  • Mason Miller, 20, major: finance and real estate. “Gen Z is considered lazy because they grew up with technology that allows them to complete tasks a lot faster than other generations. They are considered lazy just because they can finish tasks in a simpler manner due to new technologies.”

  • Jaiden Jacobson, 23, major: public relations. “I believe the Gen Z generation is considered lazy because they have grown up with easier access to everything due to technology and they grew up in homes with parents who would rather be their friends than their parents.”

  • Joey Townsend, 20, major: business. “I believe that Gen Z is considered a lazy generation because of the parenting styles that they have grown up with. As in, parents do not believe in hard punishments, allowing kids to get away with things and that is what they learn growing up.”
