Carrying on with my self-imposed task to meet with, chat to and draw one hundred Baby Boomers, I was lucky enough to ‘capture’ three in one go yesterday, three lifelong friends at the upper end of the Baby Boom, a research term that covers those born between 1946 and 1964.
The other generations are:
- The Silents, or alternately The Traditionalists (I prefer The Silents, it’s like something from Doctor Who), born 1945 and before,
- Generation X, 1965 to 1976,
- The Millennials, 1977 to 1995,
- The Centennials, born from 1996
According to researchers, generations share similar characteristics because they had similar experiences at more or less the same stage in life.
