Senior Moment

A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our spaceships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with DSL, bsp; light-speed processing ...and," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The Senior took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young.....so we invented them. Now, you arrogant little ****, what are you doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding...

well , we are making the already invented stuff more advanced

I don't think you can sit back and look at the breakthrough stuff when you are the ones experiencing them

Its a bit of flawed reasoning, similar to dismissing 4D space sitting inside a 3 space.
Personal computers have shrunk to laptops to even smaller mobiles. Internet has transformed everything around us. We have put people permanently in space. We have decoded and are doing great in decoding the human DNA to advance medical levels.

Obviously on a reference scale of 50 years, a lot of new things are seen, bigger massive achievements. Make the reference 20, those achievements look like improvements. Mark this day and look after 50 years and then you can judge what the present gen did.

Little unfair, that joke
