The difference between my generation now and my parents generation then is we have color television, cable, music electronics, etc. I think the biggest thing is how we treat our parents now. In this generation we can get away with a lot of things, back talking, leaving whenever we want, not listening, things in that category. Back then you couldn't do anything at all without asking your parents or you'd get in trouble. Such as if you don't ask to leave you would get in serious trouble when you would get back home and nowadays you really don't.
