- We studied in the 60-70-80's.
- We were dating in the 70-80-90's.
- We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.
- We venture into the 80-90's.
- We stabilize in the 2000's.
- We got wiser in the 2010's.
- And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.
- Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades…
- TWO different centuries…
- TWO different millennia…
- We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long–distance 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 Whats App.
- From live matches on the radio to black and white TV, color TV, and then to 3D HD TV.
- We went to the Video store and now we watch Netflix.
- We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
- We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.
- We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu, and now COVID-19.
- We rode skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, and petrol or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
- Yes, we've been through a lot but what a great life we've had!
- They could describe us as "essentials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
- We've kind of "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 will be UNIQUE!
