How will the "Baby Boom" generation be remembered?

86. I think it will depend on the commercial being aired

I tend to think our collective memory of any particular in history is only as good as the latest super bowl commercial or block-buster movie currently referring to that particular implies to us.

If it's in HD-color and we can stream and watch from our theater-chairs, it will be remembered in such a way as Coke or Wells Fargo or our local car dealership wants to frame it-- in order to increase sales and revenue.

So very few speak of or remember the Lost Generation or the Silent Generation-- far too few to memorialize it for good or ill, or even sake of argument. Every named generation will eventually receive the same as well.
