Every Generation Is Unique (& Special)

and so are you

Posting 5: Every Generation Can Feel (and is) Unique & Special

Pick any generation
in American history
and you
can do
this:

Born: 1890-1915 (or up to ten years on either side; 20-30 years is the usual definition of a “generation.”)

New technologies that become common during youth include:
     • movies (picture that moved; a “move-y”)
     • electricity
     • indoor plumbing
     • horseless carriage (automobile)
     • telephone
     • record player
     • airplane

And this generation lived to see air conditioning; nuclear power; space travel; computers; robots; television; organ transplantation; antibiotics; gene splicing; and other technologies.
.
And that’s just technologies.  To cite only one non-technological change:  Between 1890-1915, the U.S. first (!!!!!) became a major world military, economic and cultural  power.
