I think that's brilliant. I initially queried the 8-9 decades until I counted them!Turns out we've lived through 8-9 different decades...
TWO different centuries...
TWO different millennia...
We have gone from the telephone with an operator for
calls to video calls to anywhere in the world, we have gone from
slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from
handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp...
From live matches on the radio, to black and white TV, and then to HDTV...
We went to theatres and now we watch Netflix...
We got to know the first computers, punch cards, diskettes and now we
have gigabytes and megabytes in hand on our cell phones or iPads...
We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long pants, oxfords,
Bermuda shorts, etc.
We dodged polio, TB, infantile paralysis, meningitis, H1N1 flu and now COVID-19...
We rode skates, tricycles, invented cars, bicycles, mopeds, gasoline
or diesel cars and now we ride hybrids or 100% electric...
Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
They could describe us as "exennials" people who were born in that
world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital
adulthood.
We're kind of Ya-seen-it-all.
Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any
other in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE".
A big round of applause to all the members of a very special
generation, which are UNIQUE.
