Gawd, Star Trek Generations. That series ended with VI. Trying to get @archergirl ready for II. I did think of that movie before clicking on the post though..... It's on Netflix.... Maybe it wasn't so bad? Hahahahaha.
Re: War/Economy - I agree. Why does the US seem to keep trying to replicate that 'war-boom?'
RE: Generation Gap - certainly there had to be a large shift with the Industrial Revolution and then when two-incomes became a mainstay. There's a huge difference from when sons were following their fathers around learning a trade by age 6 and then never seeing their dad until he was exhausted from work, spending all their time with mom. The jump to when kids only see either parent when exhausted from work and/or more single parenting. These changes must make gigantic gaps. Now with kids who's whole lives are on facebook and know of no such thing as privacy? The new generation is built on technology but none of them have a clue how it works. They can use it, but everything is throwaway instead of knowing how to fix anything. I've seen elderly people seeing a computer for the first time have a better idea of how it works than young adults.
