yeah my parents were silent generation and I sorta wish I was. If you lived long your about to die or died in the last decade or two. You started out in the depression but pretty much after that things tended to get better by and large. I actually would have liked to be like 16 in 1972 so you could see the end of the vietnam war and the draft before you became draftable and it would hit a nice spot to be a computer science major and be immersed in the wonderful technology to come.
