But I am your future generation, probably: I m 33, so a millenial. I'm starting to feel the same way about my own future generation.
I think it evolves with age and you exaggerate the old time. How many people finish high school in your country, how significantly has this changed ?
In mine,France, it's a bit better, but most people still stop abstract study around 14 and start practical and will never produce a refined thought or have a noble hobby in their life and that's fine. That's always been so and there has always been noble grumpies to somberly bemoan the vapid frivolities of the next generation - but they compare perhaps their fancy upbringing to a base mass that never changed in the first place.
Look take an exemple: I'm the first of all my ancestors to speak and write English, that's a generational progress in a huge sample of my age group they would never judge us on positively.
