THey aren't trying to demonstrate a difference of current opinions, but a difference in how we reacted *then* and how those kids react *now*. Back then, we thought Space Invaders was the greatest thing ever. And how many hours did people sit and move those two paddles back and forth?
Imagine if you take a few 30-somethings and force them to live somewhere with an outhouse for a month. I'm sure they and their grandparents would agree that outhouses suck compared to modern toilets, but the grandparents didn't know what they were missing as kids.
