Remember the stories our parents would tell us about THEIR childhoods and how easy WE had it? (In MY day, WE used to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways...)
I remember playing football up and down the street, but then we did not have the proliferation of organized youth sports, etc.
It is rare for today's parent to feel comfortable with letting their children run the streets due to the fear of child predators.
I think we tend to remember the good stuff and forget the bad when reminiscing, kind of selective memory.

I have a 7 year old grandson that has been operating the computer for several years now (long before he could read) and will likely be much more proficient that me or his mother who grew up with a computer in the house.
Good and bad in all generations, just different is all.
