With each generation things change, the goalposts get moved. What was cutting edge for us is the default state of the world for them. And things are definitely moving faster than ever before. But human nature does not move that fast. It's arguable that we are largely the same as pre-tech humans. I guarantee that the biological property of human curiosity did not materially shift between our generation and the next. Every generation expresses the sentiment that some form of technology has ruined today's kids because we had it so much harder, we had to do X, whatever. Our parents were saying the same about us. And every time the kids find a way to innovate. I am so so weary of any claim that somehow this time the cycle has been broken. Occam's razor says no, that's just how you feel when you get older. We already know this. To me it's the height of hubris and folly to actually believe "well they really broke the mold with us and now we're doomed."
