I was graduating high school in the mid 80s and one of those folks who had 
to beat DOS into submission to be able to use a computer.  I even remember 
flipping dip switches on an Apple 2E to get my VersaBraille to talk to it. 
I can say gee it seems so much easier today.  I can also remember, though, 
talking to blind folks who were programming 15 years before I ever touched 
a computer and they were having to build hardware to do it.

What I mean is that it's always easy to think that quote we quote had it 
hard, but it seems that each of us is always just paving the way for the 
next generation, who we think has it easy, but compared to the generation 
that will follow them, and on and on.
