anyway to answer the original question, i would say youths and
children nowadaes enjoy higher standards of living and quality of
life. there are so much more amenities and luxuries for them -
things like mrt and lrt for one, and the pervasiveness of the
internet, a wide range of activities and pasttimes, better living
and schooling conditions, better education policies, etc. i guess
we can expect these things to get better with time in
general.
but alot of these are double edged sword - the large amounts of
information that youngsters have access to can confuse and confound
them too. and the technological advances and conveniences and
luxuries have also made them more vulnerable, physically weaker and
less mentally resilient.
