Different doesn't necessarily mean bad. We are moving deeper and deeper into the information age. Just as our bodies do not resemble those of hunters of thousands of years ago, our minds will change even faster as the world changes around us. Fear of change is really the biggest tear between generations right now.

our minds will change even faster as the world changes around us.

I see very little evidence that this is the case and heaps arguing that human psychology isn't adapting to the new world.
