Question: Do you feel like your lifetime has straddled two different generations!?

I think, when I was younger, I got to know a lot of people who experienced hardship and developed a strong work ethic from the days when America were poorer -- and I also came of age as computers and other information technologies became commonplace, as the country is more prosperous!. The under-30 crowd doesn't really understand the former America!.

Do you ever feel like you know a before-and-after world!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, I think I know exactly what you mean!. I grew up in that before-and-after world, too!. I've seen the difference in the attitudes of younger people in the workplace and I see the kids who, like my own kids, grew up with computers and all the other modern technologies that they have taken for granted!. I can really relate to some of the feelings my own parents and grandparents must have had!. Now I feel old! Oh, well, at least I have some company!. (;Www@QuestionHome@Com

I feel I had the best, growing up in the 50's (to the age of 12)!.!.!.but there is something to be said for every generation!.!.!.I am lucky to see the ones I did!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
