Born in 1970. Just after man first landed on the moon. This has made me uneasy on several fronts. How did we put man on the moon before the advent of the home computer? How can we define ourselves us the modernising, progressive generation when our forefathers got to the moon with only a slide rule and industrial revolution standard technology to help them. How horrible the cold war; how many achievements inspired by it. Who in the 40’s could even dare dream of going to the moon? Yet they did. We of the 70’s dared dream but what have we got. Virgin granting loyalty mileists a 20 minute jaunt at the edge of the atmosphere! So for the youth of the naughties generation. What do they dream of? Nothing that can’t be achieved on an xBox 360. Time to explore my cynicism further…….
