Life was very different in the 70s. Children were children and they were protected from the seamier things of life. A family insulated its children. Men protected their women and provided for the family. Garbage didn't stream into family living rooms or onto handheld computers.
No one was addicted to cell phones or video games.
Nowadays children are exposed to adult content regularly. Hardly anyone teaches the younger generation to show respect to their elders or teaches young men to open doors for ladies.
Call me old-fashioned, or "Boomer" if you like, but we lived in a much more stable world. We learned the value of hard work and respect for authority. The farm boys around here drove to school with shotguns on their pickup truck gun racks, but you never heard of anyone shooting up a school.
Everyone in the neighborhood was a hunter and swapped hunting stories. Holidays at Grandma's included deer, duck, or perhaps pheasant. One year someone found buckshot in their venison serving. It was just part of growing up in Northwestern Pennsylvania.
I see kids struggling at younger and younger ages and can't help but wish they could experience some of the innocence we de pre-internet.
Some advantages exist as the world is at everyone's fingertips, but the loss of innocence and the absence of family insulation has taken a devastating toll.
