"Our Generation USA!", covers not only Life in the United States, but also our role in a global society!
Conceptually, this website can be considered as a "Virtual Library" of events and people instrumental in the (mostly) positive advancement of human rights, largely from the 1950s until today, starting with the Baby Boomer Generation.
Since this website's start-up in 2012, we have been expanding content to cover every aspect of Human Life, given the huge cultural and technological transformation of mankind, from the 1950s until today.
We have identified roughly 5,000 articles, completing a little over 2,500 that are found on 98 web pages (including the 7 main Menu web pages at the top of each web page).
Each "virtual book" is an article, or "topic", that can include supporting images, description, even 1-3 videos. (over 3,600 videos developed to-date!)
As a virtual online library, think of each of the seven Main Menus (at the top of this and every other we page) as a library floor, and each web page listed below it a library aisle consisting of related virtual books (as topics), e.g., Popular Musical Artists web page under the main menu "Best of Media", includes the hard rock group "AC/DC"
And, with each topic/book, you will likely find one or more videos to augment the topic's content!
Yes, this website will continue to be a "Work in Progress, given that life will always continue to evolve.
"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!
