Born in the late 50's or 60's❓
They call us "The Elders" We were born in the 60's
We grew up in the 70's.
We studied in the 80's.
We dated in the 80s-90's.
We got married (or not) and discovered the world in the 80's-90's.
We ventured from the 90's to Y2K.
We stabilized in the 2000's.
We became wiser in 2010.
And we are firmly moving beyond 2020.
It seems like we live in seven different decades... TWO different centuries... TWO separate millennials...
We have gone from a rotary dial telephone with party lines and a long distance operator to video calls anywhere in the world.
We've gone from slides to YouTube, vinyl records to streaming music, handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp.
From live game radio, to black and white television, to color television and then to 3D HD television. To the video store and now it’s Netflix and streaming.
We met the first computers, punched cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu, COVID-19 & now Bird Flu.
We used to ride roller skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric cars.
Yes, we've been through a lot, but what a life we've had!!!
They could describe us as "exemplars", people born in that world who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood. Our generation has literally lived and witnessed technology change more than anyone else in all dimensions of life. It is our generation that has literally adapted to more change than any before or since.
So, a big round of applause to all those members of a very adaptable and very unique generation! 🤔
The Best is Yet to Come! 💫
