Professor Lin points out that the fathers of an earlier generation went through tough times and have endless stories to tell, but today, "the experiences of a 40-year-old father differ little from those of his ten-year-old son, and indeed, he can't even beat his son at video games."
林萬億指出，上一代父親奮鬥過程坎坷，每個人都有說不完的故事，如今，「四十歲的爸爸與十歲的孩子經驗幾乎類似，玩電腦還玩不過孩子。」
