Both. Both society & kids have changed. How could it be otherwise when society once saw it as right & good to send small boys up chimneys to clean them, when society once saw it as right & good to transport to the other side of the world someone so desperately hungry that she stole a loaf of bread, & once also - let us never forget - saw it as right & good to hang children.
There are huge differences between now & earlier times, many of which are due to the internet - something which is both good & bad, like everything else.
I think our generation was fortunate in many ways, despite lacking the good communication we now have because the times were simpler(also both good & bad) which meant we could be playing outside most of the day, only turning up for meals.
Not so good in other ways, it was a time when women weren't encouraged to do much else other than get married, but teaching or nursing was seen as being alright until then.
Life is change.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
