April 23, 2019 What do you think of the various names given to generations? I mean, now we are in the "Z" generation. I, myself, am at the tail end of the baby boomers. I guess if we have to break it down to some smaller area (instead of using dates), using a one letter to describe the generation is okay. I do feel that there is always a danger in doing this. I feel the danger is division; dividing groups of people and getting into stating whether one group is better or has done more than another group. I watched a video which the narrator of the video was saying that the "Z" generation has done more for creativity than any other group. Well, I am not sure about that! The narrator was trying to make the case that the "Z" generation has really developed music; taken it to an extra level because of what they can now do on the Internet (You Tube, etc.). Now a person can write, product their own music.....not like the days of records, because of the availability of digital technology. And, that is one of my points to disagree that the current generation is the most creative. First, if it were not for the technology available to them (thanks to previous generations), they would not have the tools available to them to do such great creations! So, I say every generation has had its "hay day" and has contributed as was needed as the time of their passing this way. I am grateful for digital music and digital photos; glad I do not have to ride in a stagecoach, and ; do not need to use an outhouse! I love all pass and present generations and welcome future ones.
