Comparing generational struggles is difficult and arguably subjective to a large extent. We often hear life today is more stressful, there is too much technology... list goes on and on. I was born in 1976 so I can only really compare today, to how things were in the 80's. I feel my generation had the last taste of what life was like before technology really boomed. We certainly weren't coddled as much and while we did have Nintendo/Atari, we weren't hooked on iPads. We played outside a lot and "offended" wasn't a thing.
My parents grew up in the 50's and 60's. They had their share of challenges, but I often hear them claim life was easier in many ways. I'm sure it was to some extent. But at the same time, we have it so easy in so many ways.
My overall gut feeling is we've gotten a bit too soft. Sure, some things are challenging, but life today is pretty convenient.
With that said, I love the 80's and miss a lot of it.
Thoughts?
