Sorry, every older generation is as arrogant as the previous. The younger is simply more introspective and generally optimistic, while the older looks to their past with rose colored glasses to prove to themselves that was not them 20 years earlier.

Actually there are some things that are vastly different. Example, communications, 20 years ago there was no communicating en mass to other people via computer. There was no email. There was no Free Nights And Weekends. There was no Skype or VoIP.
So if I compare my long disatance relationship where I spent every dollar on long distance companies and writing letters in longhand on airmail paper to someone who has IM, well there is something quite different about that.
