81 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 16 Nov \ on: Does the older generation always think the subsequent generations are soft? FiresidePhilosophy
Technology improves standard of living so the next generation will typically have more tools to access to make their lives easier. Does that make them soft. Probably.
It likely takes war or crisis to find out though.
That's the line I was thinking along, too.
If you took someone from now and put them in a previous generation, their reaction would likely be that it's tougher to live like that.
If you take someone from a past generation and put them in the present, we know that they will tend to find it confusing.
