‘I think what the younger generation misses is the ability to throw together a social occasion. You were basically forced to learn how to call some people up, figure out a place to get together, and to have a party for no reason whatsoever. In that sense, I think the internet has served to socially isolate ourselves from one another. People seem way too holed up at home.’

‘Summers under 85°. When I was a kid (born in the late 50s). A really hot day was 85° or higher. Never 100°. It’s so frickin’ hot now. So very sorry, descendents.

‘Genuinely excited for technology changes. Going from small tube TVs and monitors to flat screen was like something out of science fiction, same with mobile phones, tablets and laptops. Now it’s all pretty much normal to have these things and constant data and information. It was stuff we dreamed of.’

‘Peace of mind. There was a lot to distract us in the 90s and 80s, but nowhere near the levels now. You could go off and do your thing, and didn’t feel like you were missing out on something else.’
