Now it seems Americans are getting fairly good at multi-tasking, but often terrible at working in depth. And a narrow attention span is actually quite limiting when it comes to multi-tasking, too, because multi-tasking is about successful coordination of tasks and ideas, too, not just riffing through them real fast. Many young people I've worked with who pride themselves on their ability to multi-task actually do it quite poorly, because it's not enough to be able to do a whole lot of things poorly.

This is a top-notch good observation. It's been extremely difficult to find early-20's employees that can effectively multi-task, OR employees that can work an idea or job from concept to completion. Combine this with the entitlement thing and I'd be happy to find an employee that could finish anything effectively and conclusively.
