Grow up already.
The crucial difference is my grandfather's lack of self-consciousness, and that self-consciousness is a hallmark of the perpetual, infantilised adolescents we have all become, monsters of introspection hovering twitchily on the edge of self-obsession, occasionally aware that the life that exists only to be examined is barely manageable; barely, indeed, a life.

Nobody had a lifestyle then, because there was nobody to tell them to, and anyway they were too busy having lives.
I really appreciate the Lego guy at the top of the article, and the number of adults that re-enact Star Wars with Legos.
