Jones is a bridge generation.

That’s me, Gates, Jobs, Ellison and such.

We’re the ones who grew up with the oil crisis, iran hostages, and terrible unemployment, the first personal computers, space shuttle explosion, and the reagan revolution.

Did you have a TI? TRS-80? Commodore? Amiga? Apple 1?

Was the movie “Wall Street” your career ambition? Were you called a Yuppie? Did you wear skinny ties? Punk Much? Did you see the first star wars, alien, and blade runner in the theate? Did you read Neuromancer and snow crash when they came out and try to bring that world about?

The problem is that demographers use the rates of population and sociologists use the experiences and motivations. My generatoin has none of the slacker reputation of gen x, just the opposite.

We were raised with the highest expectations and promises, only to emerge into our teens to see the catastrophe of 1970’s, the consequences of the Great Society Movement, the crime, the drugs, the decay, the unemployment, the Carter administration and we sought opportunity in the technical revolution to work our asses off and make it big’

TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES. Hence the name.
