I think the problem with the chikdless perspective here is everyone talks like all kids are born at age 15 and with a smartphone in their hand (cause their memories are from that age). There's about 10 years of interneting before many of the YEAH BUT THE BUS STOP is even relevant. That's what Evan is reacting to.

The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
