Read some ancient Greek history texts that have been translated into English. The world is much faster now but absolutely nothing has changed with us. Favourite example (Thucydides, could be wrong) - "An old man complained to a crowd that the teenagers were spending too much time lazing around talking to the opposite sex than training to fight" (or something to that effect), ever heard that one before?
