"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." Attributed variously to either Plato, Socrates, or Aristotle but probably a lot later but it doesn't really matter.
My point is every generation complains about the younger generation in some manner. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and I definitely remember hearing the same things said about my generation that are being said today. Today's young people will undoubtedly complain about the next generation to come along. We have short memories when it comes to our own history. What's the old saying? The more things change the more they stay the same. Or something like that.
