I was born in 1960, and have been through six decades of life. What are the similarities and differences in each decade, or among various time periods?
Similarities
Family is still an important part of life and life support for most of us.
The middle class still believes in education as a transformational tool.
The politician has not changed much. Promises outpace real change.
Corporates rule the roost-though a different set.
Wars remain, fought for any stupid reason.
Differences
Technology has enabled Work From Home, Travel (simulated), conversations across the globe, digital photography
Families are getting smaller in size, at least urban families
Agriculture is losing out to Services in contribution to the GDP.
Careers other than engineering have gained traction.
Globally, wars are supplemented by shootings, and more suicides than before.
