I think it has always been so.


"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."

Mark Twain

My feeling is like being sandwiched between parents who were from the Greatest Generation and children who are also greater than myself.

To a large part I think many young people believe they are smarter than their parents and the desire to do things differently goes with that.
