It does seem that youth today feel no sense of the need to conduct themselves with decorum for the sake of social cohesion, and that they have some solopcistic entitlement to anything they want as a "right" because they want it, with no commensurate obligation to be part of the solution to the problem they bemoan. There will never be a perfect piece of hardware or software, as man is a better "editor" than "creator". And even if one had perfect hardware and software, would one necessarily be capable of generating the sort of works a Bach or Zappa created?
