We would know neither of their names if this happened 50 years ago.

What specifics do you feel that they are missing out on?

I love the commercials from that time. Youtube it. Everyone loves a Slinky.

@paixmcdao @poetmalone

The younger ones only text whenever they can avoid making a phone call and actually speaking to another human.

Conversations are getting shorter and shorter and their communication skills are suffering. The idea of having a long and insightful chat with another person is becoming a foreign concept.

Exaggerating slightly, how are they ever going to develop meaningful relationships with another human if all they do is text?

I believe many would agree that the Greatest Generation, my parents included, were those that endured WWII.

The world then was engaged in an awful, terrible, horrific war. I can't imagine living through that when fathers, husbands and sons were sent to other parts of the world to fight and die for freedom.

As bad as it was, this country pulled together and sacrificed so much to end up victorius.

They were and always will be the the Greatest Generation.

I too had family members who lost their lives, were imprisoned in the work/death camps of Siberia, fought all over the world for peace, and suffered through those days for many years.

They were the Greatest Generation, as you said. And people today do not appreciate them, or are perhaps totally unaware of their sacrifices.
