Subject: Summarize each 1960s born person by year

Written By: Karioprkaj on 03/06/18 at 2:08 pm

I have always been interested in the characteristics of people born in the 60s. They seem to be the coolest when compared to other generations. Can someone please help?

1960 - that's me  ;D


1960

  I don't remember this - I was only 3 (I have a few fleeting memories from age 3; that's not one of them)
The first election they could vote in was 1980
  In reality, most of us could vote in the 1978 midterms - to the extent we cared to
They were teenagers when video games, home video machines, and home computers became available to the public
  These devices may have been 'available' but none were in widespread use until the early/mid 80's (the very affluent may have had them)
They are in the Baby Boomer/Gen X cusp
  Indeed
