I didn’t like some parts of it, but I’ve always loved discovering new knowledge. In my country, back in my school years, there was no any gamification of learning process. It was brutal. For example, in beggining of 00s we were supposed to learn computers just by reading about them.
So I believe that education is getting better, and I think today’s children will grow up smarter than the previous generations.
People have always criticized the younger generation. Recently I was reading Homer’s Iliad, and it also mentioned how the heroes of the present were not like their fathers. It was about Odysseus and Achilles! Even Socrates complained about young people and about books (probably writing), saying that they would make people stop remembering things. This song is as old as the world. Every generation thinks it is better than the next one, and that the hardships of the past forged stronger characters. I don’t agree with this.
