I think about my grandkids.

We all love to rag on the internet but thanks to the WWW, they have access to things we couldn't have imagined when I was their age. They're interested in so much, and I think it's great.
Hell just look at music. My oldest grandson is 12. When I was that age and a song I loved came on the radio, if I couldn't afford to buy it I had to memorize it because the radio wasn't going to play it forever. The grandkids can listen to the entire canon, every piece of music ever created, any time they want.
When I was 12, the Vietnam War was entering its bloodiest phase with no end in sight and there was a draft.
If you sat outside your house at night, that's when the steel mills let the pollution roll. Sulfur dioxide fumes would chase you back in.
