Few days ago I had similar conversation with my brother, remembering the old days, when we used to cover 14 km walk to rich our village. But now the young kids not even ready to walk 14 steps. They simply rely on motorbike even to got at village shop. It is completelly true, the more convenience we seek, the more we are risking ourself ...
It is pretty crazy these days. I see kids on scooters who look like they haven't walked in six months.
This cracked me up so much XD I can see how that would be happening in the wider world. At least in my area I do see people of all ages walking around a little bit, it could be due to the convenience of my location though (there are some small "village" type shops in the area and also a lot of public transport options so they're probably going to get a snack or hang around at one of the nearby parks or going to the bus or train). Doesn't mean they are all particularly fit or healthy but at least they're moving I guess so less unfit and unhealthy than they could be?
Only vaguely related it's been a good while since I touched 14-15km, should probably go on another hike at some stage.
