Boy, I don't remember where I got this information from... I think it was probably a radio show or podcast... maybe Radio Lab?

But the "kids these days" idea is extremely common throughout recorded history. Like there are records from ancient Greece where people are complaining that kids don't show the respect that they used to, and pining for the old days when people used to act better.

And you find the same sentiment over and over whenever in history you look, wherever people kept personal records.

that was my ancient literature class in college
