(Have you already visited this website? Click Here to be Taken to the Quick Start Guide below.)
For featured topics by calendar month, visit the "SPOTLIGHT" web page!
Since this website's founding in 2012, we have been expanding coverage to cover every aspect of Human Life, given the huge technological transformation from the 1950s until today. We have identified over 5,000 articles, completing a little over 2,800 that are found on 88 web pages that you can access from the Main Menus at the top of this and every web page.
Each article, or "topic", can include supporting images, description, even 1-3 videos. (over 2,800 videos to-date!)
(By the way, if you are interested in advertising on this website, contact your webhost @ bertnl1943@att.net!)
You can think of this website as an online library, with each Main Menu (at the top of each page) as a floor, and each web page listed below it a library aisle consisting of virtual books (as topics). And, with each topic, you will likely find one or more videos to augment the topic's content!
"Our Generation USA!" seeks nothing less than to celebrate:
Our Generation USA! will focus on the time period from 1950 until today. Why 1950? Because that decade (and into the 1960s) saw the advent of social reform and entertainment that continues today: from the original black/white TV to the Internet (and beyond)!
And, to appreciate the many achievements that the USA has accomplished since 1950 and that have made us who we are today!
