The funny part of this list is it is totally missing the most glaring difference between generations.
Namely, The sheer percentage of young people who grew up so wedded to their technology that their bodies are pathetic at age 22.
I don't necessarily mean fat either, I mean, f'n weak. Young folks, please take a look at your average 45-50 year old. YOU think he's broke as frick and, you're generally right. NOW, realize that as a rule, everyone falls off and you aren't going to believe me, but it's just absolute fact that my generation did A LOT more with their bodies on a routine basis when they were young than you did.
So, if you think the average 45-50 year looks broke as frick, that shite should petrify you cause your average 45-50 year old was in FAR better shape at 20 than the average 20 year old today. I mean, it's just not even fricking close. Medical science may go a better job of keeping your arse alive as you age but here's another piece of bad news, being "alive" doesn't mean that your muscles don't atrophy. They will. And, they do so at a relatively predictable rate. The trick to being mobile when you're 50 is having your peak before the fall off be pretty high. This IS going to be a problem in 25 years.
I went to watch a local HS football game last year and I was like, "um, what in the frick happened to HS where half of them are built like they're middle aged"?

The average male is taller than the avf male 30 years ago. The athletes now are stronger and faster than 30 years ago as well.
The avg HS football team today would stomp mud holes in the HS football teams of 30 years ago.
Great job of making generalizations.
