A college student challenged a senior citizen by saying it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.  

“You grew up in a different world,” said the wise young student, “Today we have television, jet planesm space travel, nuclear energy computers…”

Taking advantage of a pause in the student’s litany of praise,  the old geezer spoke up and said, “You’re right. We didn’t have those things when we were young, so we invented them! What are you doing for the next generation?”
