I saw a meme the other day. It was a picture of a young child in a car seat holding a tablet with a disatisfied look on his face. The words said something to the effect of you think only choice of 200 movies and 80 games is bad? When I was a kid we had one movie to watch and that was called out the window.
Gee, when I was a kid and we complained while riding in the car our parents would say you think riding in the car to school is bad, we had to walk five miles to school in the snow with cardboard patching holes in our shoes.
And they did for they were part of the greatest generation who endured the hardships of life in the great depression.
It just made me think, yeah, we had it so easy and kids now are virtually in a completely different world, not only than us but from all the previous generations.
An eccentric elder once told me a story about ants. If you put an empty jelly jar by an anthill, the ants will swarm it and eat it. Continue feeding the ants in this way and eventually they forget how to forage naturally for food and will face starvation and hardship if the foodsource is removed.
This may not be 100% factual but it does illustrate the analogy pretty well. I don't have to spell it out do I, I mean I'm not the only one that sees humanity living a sci fi novel, am I?
