I’m a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)
Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.
But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming


I think this is a relatively new phenomenon. I think previously, folks mostly did their best to make sure their kids had it better than they did, and had a belief the future would be better than the past, so they believed their generation had it worse than everyone younger.
