It's  just a generational thing me thinks.


You know you're old when the music you grew up with is now playing again, remixed and "brand new" for the masses

But lest people view the past through rose tinted glasses, do people have a good memory of a world before mass immunisation, especially smallpox and polio, or antibiotics that save people dying from what we now consider a simple wound.  The past was a world where the colour of your skin limited your ability to vote or even the public transport or water fountain you could use (in the case of the USA or Apartheid South Africa).  Then there was the belittling attitudes towards woman, and overt racism to Asians and Southern Europeans.  There's plenty about the past I'm happy is no longer in the present


The only constant is change.
