I'm "making" my kids watch the show. For the most art, their comments are limited to "wow" and "Oh. no!" Of course, they do not have enough years on them to provide an accurate frame of reference on how recently this life style was the norm.<br><br>Heck! I can't even impress upon them on how much has changed from my generation, and we had it easy.<br><br>One family black and white TV<br>One family telephone (not cordless)<br>No video games<br>No VCR tapes<br>No ATMs<br>No microwave ovens<br>No Internet!!!!<br>and so on ...<br><br>And I had it easy growing up in a middle-class family. There were many that did not have as much as I did. I alwayd had food, clothing, education, etc.<br><br>What I have a hard time fathoming is trying to think ahead to my childrens childrens' generation (grandcildren to be) and what will the world be like then. If my grandmother witnessed the advent of telephones and electricity in the home, cars and jet plane travel, etc. What wonders exist on the horizon for my children and grandchildren?
