  Rule #382: You can translate 'kids these days' commentary from one generation to the next by simply substituting $newthing for $oldthing, and inserting a new value of $newthing. For instance: 1990s: Kids these days wouldn't have the attention span to {read a book}. All they can do is {watch music videos}. 2020s: Kids these days wouldn't have the attention span to {watch a music video}. All they can do is {browse TikTok}.
