I just keep quiet and let them keep making buggy whips or whatever they do.

It's not even that far back. I grew up in the 70s and 80s which was the tail-end of it; so when people talk about the good old days, they are talking about post-WWII.

It was a totally different mentality, the little things, like playing outside all day until the street-lights came on, playing with reckless abandon, riding bikes for miles.

That's what "the good old days" is really referring to.

I don't get your point. I'm an X-er born before man walked on the moon. I played outside until the street lights came on. I rode a bike without a helmet. That doesn't mean I have to slavishly stick with the technology from 40-50 years ago.
