Yes for those living in the 1950's, sexuality, technology, clothing, fast food would all be amazing.
Women's rights, civil rights would all be new to them.
I was thinking about men who used to wear a suit and tie to go to a ball game.
And we all dressed up to get on an airplane.
My daughter and I like to talk about what life will be like when she is old and has grandchildren.
All the things she thinks are so new and modern now will then seem ancient. Gee grandma, people weren't going to Mars when you were young? God you must be so old grandma.
Ha, a few years ago I was waiting to get my hair done and a young boy was waiting for his mother to finish up with her hair cut. He started watching me play a game on my Iphone. We got to talking and I told him we didn't have these kind of phones when I was his age. He told me that one thing always confused him about the old days, why did people hang their phones on the wall and had cords so you could not walk around with them. I tried to explain things but it just did not make sense to him.
