The people born between 1975 and 1995 are the most special generation of all time, and here's why: They were born between two generations: one before the internet and before technology took control, and the following generation. The generation before 1985 was old-school and believed in hard, consistent work, while the next generation believes in smart work. This generation has seen it all: radio, television, Mario Bros, Nokia, cassettes, VHS, DVDs, Nintendo, PS4, video stores, Netflix, Snapchat, and virtual reality. This is the generation that knows tradition and questions and judges based on reasoning. The previous generation didn’t ask questions, and the next one doesn’t know tradition. The bridge between the industrial era and the internet age, they understand both sides based on experience. This generation should be leading everything. The older generation doesn’t understand what’s happening now, and the next generation doesn’t know where what they have comes from. image

I’ve experienced this even as recently as this morning, I was having a back and forth with Ms and went to pull up supporting evidence on the web only to find the entire topic had been spun 180 and was totally contradictory to what I had already done my due diligence on and accepted as a truth. It’s scary when you live in a world where history is not a factual and immutable streaming record.
Well said.

GREAT POST I think about this a lot. I grew up in a time when cellphones in high school were still uncommon but I also saw how people changed as texting became cheaper and cellphones were more common. There was a girl in high school I saw with a thumb splint on because she texted so much and she was still texting in class! I had a flip phone at the time and texting was expensive. Half the kids in high school didn't have cellphones yet but I could see how these devices could lead to other addictive problems. I remember going out as a kid to play with friends in the neighborhood and staying out until the street lights turned on. I remember meeting with friends at the mall and finding each other without cellphones. I remember getting kicked off the internet when my mom would use the phone. We have a unique perspective that no other generation in human history will ever have.
