Here, we basically say something like "Back in my day, _______! Now you __________!" I'll start.

Back in my day, Grandma had to actually get run over by a Reindeer if we wanted to see the movie! Now you have all your TV's and PC's to entertain yourselves!

Edit: Everyone should vote "Little". I put SOME thought into the back in my day quote!

Back in my day, we had to run over a reindeer if we wanted fast food, nowadays you have your McDonalds and your Burger Kings.

Image when the new generation is old...

"Back in my day, we needed to drive all the way to McDolnads if we wanted fast food! Now you can teleport there!"

Back in my day, if you wanted a game console, you went to the store. Now, you can just download the blueprints and have your 3D printer make you a console.

Then it all changes one generation later:

"Back in my day, we had to order the consoles online!"

Back in my day, we used to destroy our hands while playing Mario Party, now every gamepad has sticks as soft as sponges. Wait... now that I think about it, that change was for the better.

So yeah, thanks Nintendo!
