Here’s a statement that I’m getting really tired of hearing: « We didn’t have computers when I was in school and I turned out okay. There’s no reason why kids today need ‘em. » I’m sure that this argument was offered in the past as well: « Buses? We walked to school barefoot, in the snow, uphill both ways! » « I don’t want to pay for indoor plumbing for the school. We didn’t have it when I was a student and I turned out alright. » « Electricity? Pshaw! Do you know how dangerous those wires are? When we were kids we had oil lamps and candles and everything was fine. » « Back in our day we didn’t need that newfangled writing and alphabet stuff. We actually used our brains and memorized things. » « Agriculture? Hah! It’s the ruin of society! Kids are just sitting around getting soft while they watch the crops grow. When I was a child we actually had to run after our food. We were tough, not like these kids today. » And so on… At some point we have to label this what it is: ridiculous. When we actually acknowledge and support this misbegotten, history-blind nostalgia, all it does is delay our much-needed recognition that the world is constantly changing and that we need to adapt in thoughtful but necessary ways. Change be can scary, but there’s a huge difference between intelligent, reflective criticism and mindless, reactionary dismissal.
