    I don’t think any generation is “smarter” than the last at any given age.

    I think the latest generation is smarter in some technological aspects because they learn them in school. Older generations didn’t have that opportunity because those technologies didn’t exist then. When I have a technical question related to things like Iphones I always ask the youngest person that I know.

    One advantage of older generations is that they actually lived during historic events while the young can only read an author’s interepretation of those events

      The generation that fought fascism in the West is almost completely dead. And so, here we go again.
