Back In My Day
Let’s face it, life changed a lot since many of us were kids.
Around the time many of us were young, Cabbage Patch Toys were the first toy craze out there. Those things (while still cherished by many) are considerably lower tech along with many other things from our youth.
While I had always swore I would never be that person who starts out stories by saying ‘back in my day’ that promise has been much harder to keep lately.
As many of today’s generation of parents are Gen X and Gen Y grew we developed alongside the advanced tech we have. Our own kids are the first generation to always know what life is with Wikipedia, cell phones, and instant communication. They are growing immersed in information 24/7 while we grew up alongside it all.
This new generation is also different from ours, and that of our own parents. So different that a cursory search can turn up thousands of articles on how to communicate between with the different generations.
A personal favorite example would be what used to be a social ostracizing label of being a ‘nerd’ or a ‘geek’, when many of us were younger, and still in school, being called either was the social end of our lives. Now, it’s a label that is proudly touted. It’s come so far that being called a geek is an all out good thing.
There are still many warnings over our present ways of life creating social outcasts, it does seem that that won’t be nearly as much of an issue as it was feared.
