Could this be because older people have more memories of when certain things were better than they are now?

- copx 5mo agoThe issue is that "better" is subjective and the subjects are shaped by the environment they grow up in. Most people thus naturally prefer the world as it was during their formative years.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoIs it just that? I see people praising not being reachable 24/7 by phone, but I don't see many people praising calling all the places your friend might be to guess where they are. I see people praising a world without Facebook but I don't see anyone praising a world without Wikipedia. It seems to be a rather selective effect.
- XorNot 5mo agoSure and the reason why is they were kids and their parents handled everything. They don't remember when things were better: they don't remember that they were children.
