This is incorrect. "They" can talk with older people, look at old
movies,
tv-clips, etc. Plenty of basis for comparison. It is anecdotal, but I
did so myself, when a teenager and came to the conclusion that there was
waaaay more fun to be had 10-20 years earlier than when I was young.

I read 'Where Did You Go? Out. What Did You Do? Nothing.' and 'How to Do
Nothing With Nobody All Alone By Yourself' as a kid. He compared the '50s
with the '20s bit I didn't feel underprivileged.

That's a short excerpt. I did build both the spool tank and the button
buzz saw.  There were also things to do with horse chestnuts. There were
also other projects that Smith left out.

But you must remember, that I am younger than you. Maybe there is a point at around 70:ish, where the previous youth was more boring? For me, my father had way more freedom and opportunities than I did, and I have way more freedom than todays youth.
