who are 70s-80s
we saw fall of soviet union, the rise of the Internet and MMT in pratice.
I'd say we are the change.

Being alive during that time and not a being an infant was pretty cool. We were the generation that used be out late and you just came home when the street lights came on. Times were different.
Who still has POGS?

What you are describing is Zillennials, born between 1993 and 1998.
Then you remember the show, Touched by an Angel?
We saw the Berlin Wall fall. We saw the Soviet Union crumble. We used DOS and dot matrix printers. We saw Apple when it was the underdog fighting Big Blue. We saw Apple turn into Big Blue. We saw blackberry, HTC and Nokia come out with some spectacular phones. We saw their collapse. We saw the growth of Amazon.
We saw the change. We are the change.
Shipyard. I work on warships in various roles from preservation to fitting, etc.

ah, ok, not quite the same, you aren't moving stuff around but repairing and maintaining the big machines
Yay. I’m special.
Magic is still cool.
Except for when you put a drill bit through a black lotus cause you made an NFT of it 🙄
Can confirm.
We're basically carrying the world on our shoulders.
It’s going to take some truly unbiased leaders that can tap into the multigenerational differences and find common ground between them to fix many of the issues that plague our society today.
Eventually as a whole, we’re all going to need to make a commitment to maturity, and acknowledge that our care free and generally uninterested ways are causing factual damage to fundamental structures that ensure stability for future generations…
My parents didnt believe in having television
but I saw it a couple times.
I had the power 9 at one time.
I really loved cards like Birds of Paradise, reflecting pool… enduring renewal, trade wind rider…
wait wasnt that in the 90s?
either way.
Yes. Yes, you are.
The days BEFORE the internet AND BEGORe the phones ...
WERE THE BEST DAYS EVER!!!
SO SAD the kids will never know this life!
There is a movement among the xennial/millennial management folks to make this happen. We are the bridge generation for so many reasons. It's beautiful.
Damn I always took you for a younger guy. The whole Japanese thing threw me off lol.
I don’t know about the ‘most special’ part but there is a ton of generational truth sandwiched in— that I experienced, and experience as I age, with things mentioned that resonate.
lol
its just because I'm naturally youthful
(and maybe a bit of an idiot)
You very based in reality it's nice to see
Pager life was the happy middle ground
Well thank you
You misspelled "1974 to 1994" 😏
Fingers crossed
in America we were the first generation in a while that wasn't drafted. hopefully many more.
shoutout millenials
Reporting for duty
Hoping they grab the good parts of the torch and propel us into a future where we look out for our seniors.
I don't see my self as a leader....
Was just conversing with Ms. Sai about that fact… luckily I’m safe from drafting at 43 but they can always change the law
Sorry

Much truth in your words, especially the bridging between the „two worlds“. This is how I often feel.
Can you really appreciate the Internet if you've never heard a modem going super Saiyan?

If you are from this generation, you led yourself to this point! Quite an achivement, taking into account all the crap we were put through 🫂
As a person that falls inside that window I must say this sounds about right.
cynical I'm not sure... but nobody else uses sarcasm better than we do. Plus, we need to see the "receipts" first to believe that a thing even happened 😉
Spot on
Exactly.
If you can’t do a beat-box police academy mock dialup noise, all your base are belong to us.
In the end, without “eachother” the only other thing that matters is TIME.
Why not spend the ultimate resource, together.
You’re not alone!
But hey, it’s their thing.
The adults shook their heads and didn’t fully understand our “things” when we came up…
Thus the saga continues.
Fight for what matters, fight for a future for our young people. Fight for our right to have and hold our value.
Share. Live, love.

That and removing degraded coating systems via high pressure abrasive “blasting” with a hose akin to a firehose that shoots grit at high velocity to expose steel or other substrates and removes rust, mil scale and contaminates in order to clean and prep the surface (ie: the hull of the entire aircraft carrier) in preparation for a and entirely new series of coatings to be applied per mil-spec.
Yea zeitgeist was huge.
lol.
Your on the money
Appreciate that
Thank you.
Onward
I know that’s right!
The previous generation didn’t ask questions, and the next one doesn’t know tradition — well said
Damn straight
Well said.
Sai
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.
is that pic from the movie "Kids"?

Interesting point of view
I do that sometimes
Born in 2001 here. Have always related with my predecessors rather than those born even 3 years after me
This is more common I think than we all give eachother credit for / recognition of.
i think Alvin Toffler's thesis in Future Shock possibly mentions this problem of the acceleration of technology leading to this kind of difficulty although brainwashing that didn't get you early enough that may have for whatever reason worked on people born later could be a part of it
Hippies were totally counter cultural, which is why it was totally shut down in 1971.
"We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities,” Ehrlichman said. “We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”
And so it was. And still is.
Each generation has its role it has played in the growth of the people as a whole.
It’s important to note that the difference phases we’ve gone through as a society from the Industrial Revolution to the Technological Boom and now the advent of Artificial Intelligence, all have influenced each overlapping generation in different ways.
It would be prudent for us to take both broad and specific approaches to extracting data from these large data sets in order to identify where our strengths will show themselves as younger generations mature and position themselves to transition into the leaders of tomorrow.
Believe so
Pretty much
yeah, it's really true... the speed with which they erased history during my 20s and 30s was dizzying
The tail end of pre 9/11 was easily the greatest time in America. Absolutely everything changed after that.
It really does feel that way, looking back.
Which is a whole can of worms in itself.
I belong to the best generation that will ever be. There will never be another generation between non-internet and full internet. We have seen it all, we have seen the start, the birth, the grow of the world wide network.
View quoted note →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.

“No Luke, I am your father.” Is a huge one. I watched empire strikes back so many times on vhs even with adjusting the tracking on the vcr it was worn out.
I know wtf Vader said lol 😂
"we aren't at war with oceania"
Street lights? Ha. I used to stay out till 3 on week days then get up at 7 to go to school. We were 24/7 before the Internet.
There is a reason you feel that way. A gargantuan can of worms.
Lmao.
Well as the single white dude in the ghetto, yeah my rays told me to be back when the lights came on.
I can identify with this, however as I grew, I learned how to exist with my fellow humans and no matter what type of group I was with I was usually safe, and cared about
Calculating how long until my kids are out of the crosshairs
Oh for sure. But when your 6 or seven. Ya ass is back to he crib when the lights came on.
But your point is poignant and correct. We must interact with everyone. Being a public school kid that was a great advantage. I had friends and classmates from every creed religion etc.
When you learn this as a kid it's just like second nature.
I had a feeling you’d understand what I meant. And yea at THAT young an age, I wasn’t so skilled at fitting in, especially when you are literally a different race, but I did. And I don’t regret it for a second, even the times that were rough or unfair towards me. I grew, and I met people who treated me like we had no skin. And that’s the strength, when we come together and realize we are all bipedal hominids.
There is no “future” alone. Nor is there a point, to any of it, if we aren’t together.
People hate to admit, or even acknowledge… without the other person in the equation, there isn’t a reason or a value. We are meant to experience, together, and define… enjoy, feel the pains, grow… love, laugh and sing. Together
That’s a repeater lol. Very long maths.
Our kids will never be out of any crosshairs, it’s a duality of life.
But we can engineer the future, and we can TRY.
As we do, they will eventually take our place, and hopefully the sincerity of our efforts will fill them with the confidence and staying power, to do the same for theirs.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
There is no future solo.
Beautifully said, thanks for sharing. 🌸
Well said, my friend ❤️🔥

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.
