People who grew up in the 1790s probably talked fondly about at-home candle tallow making and how much better life was before the Indians got guns.
People who grew up in the Ice Age probably talk fondly about killing giant ground sloths and how much better meat tasted before cooking over fires started.
In forty years, people will talk about growing up in the 2020s and how great tiktok was and how much better life was before AI matched you up with your future spouse in elementary school.
