Sixty years ago my parents had a lot to say about the youth of the day. Some of the comparisons were different but generally the same type of skepticism.  My grandchildren's' reliance on electronic entertainment can be annoying but they are sure good at troubleshooting problems on my computer!   I more often see things as different rather than worse.  When I was the age of my grandson, I could find and replace the faulty tube in a television set.  My grandsons don't even know what I'm talking about when I tell them this story.  I don't know how they can go through life not knowing which tube to replace!

Every time my wife makes fun of her mother for not being able to figure out how to use a cell phone or computer, I remind my wife that, at one point in her life, her parents had to teach her how to use a spoon.
