Infochild And Depression/War Generation: Conflicting Age Groups

Abstract: 6 pages in length. As a twenty-eight-year-old man who thinks the world would cease to exist without the myriad technological tools invented during his generation, Matt has no understanding of what it means to be still within one's own skin, always seeking immediate gratification by way of artificial stimulants provided by today's high-tech existence. Harv, on the other hand, is a child of the Great Depression who learned a hard lesson about doing without life's basics, much less splurging on every newfangled technology that commerce introduced. Harv cannot appreciate the extent to which Matt's life is wholly immersed within the technology offered by modern-day society, while Matt scoffs at Harv's stubborn refusal to venture forth into what he considers to be the fascinating world of high tech. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
