It is hard to say. I use to be a pack a day smoker but I think I would even be shocked by the level of smoking if I was transported back to 1985 at this point.

We seem to romanticize the past as if before smartphones kids would spent their time reading Aristotle and doing calisthenics.

No one had a smartphone when I was a kid and instead I spent hours a day playing Nintendo or watching trash TV.

On the other hand, it wasn't that long ago that people could go to the grocery store and push a shopping cart without looking at their phone the whole time.

I think these are just the problems of a society of abundance.
