Since this is a hifi Forum, I ignored the stuff that was close to on-topic, and focussed on the anecdotal. Oh well...
IMO, kids today are no different then we were, then. We all want more of whatever tastes, sounds, looks, and feels great. The evolution is that awareness of what is "out there" comes so much earlier than in the past. That makes it harder to give guidance and encourage hardwork for true "needs" rather than "want, want want".
Threads like this get complicated. Widget - why aren't you BUILDING something!! :rotfl:
