People changed MUCH more from the 80s to now. Technology changed more from the 50s to the 80s.
That is an excellent observation my friend.
I think that's it. There have been cultural changes in how people behave that have been monumental since about the time Clinton appeared. But (to me) the world of the 1980s and the world of today are not radically different in basic appearance. But 1950s looks like another planet.
Agreed, and I would even say that the technological changes are part of what is driving the changes in people.
I agree. The 50s to the 80s was about American growth. The Mid 80s to the present is more about America's death. I feel fortunate being born in '54 to live through one of the most exhilarating times in our history.
“People changed MUCH more from the 80s to now. Technology changed more from the 50s to the 80s.”
GREAT answer. And I think the reason people have changed is due to the smart phones and internet.
My grandmother was born in rural Norway on a farm in 1884. No electricity, no vehicles, nothing. Maybe a few steamships on the fjiord I guess. She always said she was so lucky to have lived when she did (and being able to come to America - alone at the age of 17 not knowing anybody here). She died in 1983.
