You chose shoes as your comparison point.

Using two symbols of technology: AI (advanced modern technology) Shoes (cheap, basic materials)

You were saying the following, in essence, no? "My grandfather got shoes and was happy, new kids get AI and are not happy."

No I wasn't.

This is the whole paragraph:

> People used to have nothing. My grandfather got his first pair of shoes when he was 10 years old. Yet he was more joyful and positive than most people alive today.

I was saying he had nothing, not even shoes (and people now have plenty).

This shouldn't be hard. It's truly basic text comprehension.
