I think this is very interesting, David. I’m a geneologist and have recently been studying Colonial America. I am feeling that a lot of the attitudes that are being expressed. In this technological era are reminiscent of those of our founding fathers.
The dawn of a new era.
Thank you for the interesting website. I am also a researcher and commentator on Generation X. My blog is fairly new, but I am steadily working on it. I would like to invite you to check it out! I follow Neil Howe’s work as well.
I wish you much success and will continue to follow your blog.
Sincerely,
Latchkey Lisa
I was born in 1979 and questioned what a man said to me
“Generation X does not pertain to the 1980s. If a child is born in the 1980s, they are not Generation X. Generation X does not pertain to the 1980s.”
Was this man correct or incorrect or just being offensive who I met on line or in person? Interesting comment.
