And they're right.
It's cuz we can remember when there were only 3 channels of TV, and you had to adjust the antenna every time you changed the channel. If you wanted to see a movie on TV, you had to wait 3-5 years after it came out in theatres for it to come on TV, and then it was full of commercials and edited for content. The thought of taking the phone with you when you left the house was a science fiction fantasy.

We old folks started out being used to living with alot less; we didn't know any different. So all the shit younger people take for granted is all cool new shit to us. It's the consolation prize we receive now that sex has lost its novelty.
