You are romanticising the past to a ridiculous degree. I guarantee there are people your age that don't know who Mark Antony is - and how is that considered a requisite for intelligence? It's so pretentious to base your judgement of an entire age group on their knowledge of a minor historical figure, cause you can bet your ass we all know who Cleopatra is. You can keep Mark Antony because I'm safe in the knowledge that our generation will be furthering technology, medicine, and art in ways yours never even dreamed of.
