Some old people also invoke the "You don't understand how much worse it was when I was your age!" card.
That reminds me of something that grinds my gears. Everyone thinks that everyone older than them is dumber because they're old and aren't in touch with what's new, and everyone thinks that everyone younger than them is dumb, because they're young and never experienced these things that you take for granted, back when they were new.
And as a result, we've got everyone saying how things were better in their day, and perpetuating myths that our ancestors were dumb for thinking the world was flat.
People who are younger than you aren't dumb. People who are older than you aren't dumb. You aren't dumb. Things just change!
