I ws BORN bw 1980&'89!da last sane generation
What times were those ... right?
A generation,whose history begins, hopefully with the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- We are the last generation that learned to play in the street, we are the first we've played video games, seen cartoons in color and went to amusement parks
- We were the last to record songs of the radio on cassettes and we are the pioneers of walkmans and chatrooms
- We have been labeled Generation X, and we had to swallow Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills 90210 ...
- We will always remember events from before we were born, as if we had not experienced anything historic.
- We have learned what terrorism is, we saw the Berlin Wall fell and a drunk Boris Yelsin grabbing his secretary ass
- We said no to France's nuclear tests at Mururoa atoll and NATO, bases out, without knowing very well what it meant, and we saw a September 11 the fall of the Twin Towers.
- We Learned how to program the VCR before anyone else, play with the Atari, Supernintendo; hate Bill Gates, saw the ads on the first cellphones and believed that the Internet would be a free world.
- We are the generation of the Thunder Cats, the Transformers, the Ninja Turtles, the RoadRunner, 'Oliver and Benji', of The Smurfs, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the Knights of the Zodiac and Dragon Ball
- AND SO MUCH! WE ARE THE LAST SANE GENERATION THAT HAS BEEN ON THIS PLANET
- Looking back is hard to believe that we are still alive:
- Traveled in cars without seat belts or air-bags
- There were no cell phones ..
- We did not have Playstations, 99 television stations, flat screens, surround sound, mp3s, iPods, computers and the Internet, but we still had a great time
- Never heard about global warming!
- We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned to grow up with all this ....
You're one of them? Congratulations!
