That is very true and it seems this goes back to at least as far as ancient Greece.
“The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.” ― Socrates

I don't know though. I bet that even the dumbest Athenian boy from back then could have pointed out Sparta on a map.
It just seems to me that my crowd from way back then would have it all over the average HS kid of today. And maybe that's because there was a WW2 vet in every other house back then.
