Your kids will grow up, consuming media that has been perfected to be as addictive as possible. They won't read the books they're assigned for school. Because why read 200 pages when you can read 2? Why are those 198 even necessary when the plot can be so easily condensed? They'll graduate and leave for college and get similar marks to what you did, go into similar mediocre careers.
You'll be left at home with your smugness and your wife. She knows you feel superior to her, but she's not convinced it's true.

Then maybe, when the bitterness comes to it's conclusion and you're on your death bed. Hating the fact that you wasted your life, that everything you'e done has been so average. You'll think to yourself:

"I'm exactly the same as the people I despise..."

The cardiac monitor will beep continuously, a sheet will be pulled over your head, and your son will go home and browse the future equivalent of 4chan. He'll make a post on the future equivalent of /lit/, radiating smugness and wondering why he only has the attention span to read government-approved rage comics.
