this is the most priviledged and wealthy generation with less seperating the rich and poor that the world has ever seen in real terms?

All of it, I utterly reject all of the assertions that keep getting thrown around about how much worse it is today, I have an immeasurably better life than either my parents or grand parents.
I grew up without a TV or a car, and phone calls cost 10p a minute, 40 odd years later I live in a world where we all throw working TVs and computors and cell phones away because they arn't cool anymore, the homeless have cell phones for gods sake, I have a TV on my wall which I have no doubt is almost identical to Bill Gates's TV, the same applies to my phone, and computor.
