In the older times they weren't battling or rather competing with technology whereas today we are. In older times there was greater job opportunities unlike today. Today's generation is fighting to not be replaced by robots/ technology. Today we must think of jobs and ideas that no computer can do or think of and that requires great authenticity and causes major competition as people are somewhat going for the same kind of jobs. Example Law, Medicine... etc. As much as there was oppression and so forth back then and it was the main issue, to say. Today these problems are still being dealt with the difference is that they are not highlighted as much because there is much worse going on. So I believe the problems we face today are much greater than in the past generations.
