You Kids Have It Too Easy!

Actually, recent studies suggests that even though the level of comfort has been raised a LOT in the last hundred years, people are more stressed and more unhappy than ever.

Thanks for the OP, really does bring back memories.

I think the real sign you're old isn't that you think technology makes things easier, better, whatever - 'cause it usually does.

The real sign you're old is when you absolutely REFUSE to use that new technology because the old tech was good enough then and it's good enough now, dammit!!!

This reminds me of letterman, where he says his only toy as a kid was a rusty can lol. I must say, kids have it so easy today that it is hard. They come to bhw expecting a spoon acting as an aeroplane, but instead get a bitch slap. Im only 20 so I guess im still a kid. But anyhu, sega and atari etc are better than ps3 and sexbox 360. I remember playing dos games such as wacky wheels, jazz jack rabbit and zool. God those games still kick ass! Even tho i was like 5 or 7 i was finding bugs in wacky wheels and making it crash breaking the rules of the computer/intarwebz is in my nature. Which im glad for. Credit cards are gay. Debit cards are the shiznit.

Oh and Fury 3, on windows 95 (supposedly it could run on the previous windows but like shit, good ol microsoft: "we said it could run" doesnt mean you can play it tho!)

Fury 3 + joystick = oldskool 90's heaven.

everything you said was pretty much to the "t" of my general thought as a kid. Thank you, honestly, thank you

Your guy was a little square, you actually had to use your imagination, and there were no multiple levels or screens; it was just one screen forever and you could never win! The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died ...

Just like LIFE!

Lol'd so hard at this part. I'm 20 and I fully understand how good kids have it today. The biggest of these things being the internet. I've been making money online since I was in high school, and this is becoming more and more common. Just a few years earlier, and it wasn't even possible. Kuddos to older generation for making my life easier.

Thanks for such a hilarious post. I loved all the humor and the examples of that primative, almost barbaric life!!!
