These are indeed gloomy times. When I was growing up in the '80s and '90s, I often heard old people say they wished they were my age. Now, everyone my age and older says, "Thank God I'm not a kid today."
Speed of events continues to increase. I was a 60's child. It stayed in my head. I am now 66. I amuse myself thinking about being 66 in 1966. Even 1976.
