The kids have it great
I think that every generation thinks thinks that they have it rougher than any other generation. I think that there is a trade off. Before all of the great technological advances people did not have many of the cool gadgets like DVD players for cars and a GPS device to help keep them from getting lost, but they also led a simpler life with less stress. Or perhaps I should say a different kind of stress. One of the drawbacks to the technological advances, such as all of the audio and video devices is the fact that we learn very quickly a lot of bad news. And bad news is very stressful.
On the other hand, the advancing technology creates the opportunities to have a lot more fun. Many people don’t have to labor physically as hard as they used to because of the introduction of some great labor saving devices, such as vacuum cleaners and automatic washing machines and dishwashers. I’ll be very interested to see what other kinds of labor saving devices will be invented in my lifetime!
