Every generation looks piously down on the previous. That is the one constant of humanity. Looked at coldly, this generation is no different from the previous, nor previous to that, nor previous to that, etc ad nauseum. What has happened, though, is 1) the news has become more lurid and more pervasive and 2) whining ploggers have a public forum to complain about the ones they look down on: like I’m doing in this post.
