✨They call us "The Elders"
We were born in the 60s - 70s.
We grew up in the 70s - 80s.
We studied, dated, and partied in the 80s - 90s.
We learned into the 80s-90s.
We settled into the 2000s.
And we’re firmly beyond 2020.
Seems like we lived in eight different decades...
TWO different centuries...
We've gone from a corded phone with a party line to a long-distance caller operator to video calling anywhere in the world.
We've gone from slides to YouTube, vinyl records to online music, handwritten letters to email and WhatsApp.
From live gaming radio, to white and black TV to color TV and then to 3D 4K HDTV.
Went to the video store and now watching Netflix.
We met the first computers, punched cards, disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.
We wore shorts all childhood and then pants, Oxfords, rockets, full shells and blue jeans.
We dodged childhood paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, swine flu and now COVID-19.
We used to ride skates, tricycles, bicycles, mopeds, unleaded or diesel cars and now we drive hybrids or electric.
Yes, we have been through a lot, but what a life we have had!.
They could describe us as "specimens," people who had an analog childhood and digital adulthood.
We be like "I have seen it all"!
Our generation has literally lived and witnessed more than anyone else in every dimension of life.
It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE". "
All members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!
The old with the young in it…🕉️
