What We Leave

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 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  @#$%^& , what are you doing for the  next generation? "  - Joe Mendelsohn
