Lifes benefits and
appreciating those benefits.
For myself, I grew up knowing what their lives were like. And building on my experiences as technology and modern conveniences progressed, we lived with in the beginning of another age of modernization. Modern refrigerators, natural gas for cooking and heating. Wired phones to direct dial numbers, or operator assistance for long distance calls. We carried 10¢ for calls home via public pay phones. AM transistor radios made radios and music and news portable... followed by FM channels. Music records... 33-1/3... 78s... and 45s made personalized choices for music available in your home.
I grew up with countless advancements in every aspect of my life. Leading us to everything today... giving us the most modern of technologically advancements. Everything that today's young people absolutely take for granted.
OMG. All the advancements with knowledge, communication, transportation, smart phones, television streaming, music streaming, internet... Everything that has advancing by huge leaps.
My generation was amazed, welcomed, and appreciated all the advancements over the years. Young people today having so far limited lives, seem to not only take everything for granted, but view everything as an entitlement... appreciating nothing and always expecting more. They have no concept of what once was, and do not appreciate all the changes, the evelotion to arrive at everyday technology & the modern marvels we all enjoy today.
So, where does that leave us. Older folks that are amazed and appreciate todays marvels. Young people that do not appreciate how we got here ... and take everything for granted.
Their strongest feelings:
It's human nature to appreciate lifes benefits as you get older.
Why? Well, the older you get, the more you easily know just how far you and humanity has come. Especially from a technology standpoint.
My grandfather grew up when horses and the horse carriages dominanted transportation. Electricity was young, and oil lamps and fireplaces for warmth were still widespread. Wood fired stoves provided indoor cooking. Ice boxes with blocks of ice provided indoor refrigeration to keep foods fresh. Motor cars were just starting to become commonplace. The telegraph was the king of long distance communication. Hand written letters were a mainstay. Wired Telephones in cities were in still in its infancy.
Naturally advancements progressed for my father growing up.

Their strongest feelings:
Loss of anything, or control beyond themselves is an attack on the rights and freedoms.
Life should be fair.
When life isn't what they think it should be... They are offended.
When life isn't what they think it should be... They are offended.
Intimately... Everything is about them.
They have no idea what life was before them.
