Everybody used to smoke everywhere. By the 70s/80s, everybody knew how unhealthy things were… but you could smoke everywhere. Nobody thought that was a bad idea for public places until the late 80s/90s? Doesn’t that seem odd.

Seatbelts and car seats for kids in cars weren’t a thing until the 80s/90s. Nobody wore one in the front seat. Did accidents not happen before the 80s? Literally makes no sense.

I feel like this list can go on and on about things that surrounded us as kids that, even as kids, seemed incredibly odd and wrong.

Now as an adult and parent, I can’t even imagine my kids ever being around or in positions the generation of adults raising us didn’t think twice about putting us in apparently.

Will the future generation think the same of us?

I can’t quite figure out if our experience is unique or if every generation comes to this sort of realization at some point in time.
