It is just me who seems to think this way?

Kids these days seem extremely smart compare to the days I grew up. I'm watching some of these 5 yr olds using the parents cell phone to play games etc, while I was chewing cigarette butts at that age 🤔

It does seem that way... I often marvel at how clever kids are today; but then I was quite clever at making whole cities out of a pile of leaves, sticks and mud while I played in the yard.

@frequentlyme Where I lived, was a lot of woods and a small farm. I used to build tree forts and ride the cow, LOL

@Beebo Yah, just a different time, and honestly, while I do admire the smarts kids ahve today, I wonder at times about their life skills.

@frequentlyme I think it varies for some of these kids as they get older. Some mature and become something of themselves, while others cause problems with society. At least with us, we were more raised with respect and being polite. Probably has something to do with the era we grew up in.
