This is borrowed from the website vegout, which is actually some kinda vegan worship site, but they do have some insightfull posts, and this one especialy caught my inquisitive 'boomer' eye.
Modern kids are growing up in a hyperconnected, hyper-optimized world, and while it comes with its own advantages, it’s also missing a few things that quietly built resilience, creativity, and grit. These are ten of the things we learned as kids that today's kids don't have a clue about:
1) Waiting without distractions
2) Calling a house and hoping the right person answers
3) Getting lost and figuring it out
4) Making plans and actually sticking to them
5) Learning patience through analog tech
6) Fixing things instead of replacing them
7) Playing outside without supervision
8) Handling conflict face to face
9) Making do with limited choices
10) Building relationships offline first
Today, kids can build great online friendships, but it’s different. Distance creates a buffer. You can log off. You can mute. You can disappear without consequence. Offline relationships require a different level of investment and vulnerability.
The bottom line? These experiences weren’t perfect and they didn’t magically produce wiser humans. But they shaped Boomers in ways that are getting rarer by the year.
Modern kids will grow up with their own strengths. Tech fluency. Global awareness. Creativity of an entirely new flavor. To read more in to this topic, you can click on this.
