Television and Baby Boomers
Television, once a futuristic fantasy, became a household staple in the post-World War II era, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s. This period, known as the Golden Age of Television, marked a significant shift in Entertainment and information dissemination, profoundly affecting the baby Boomer Generation. As television became more accessible, it quickly turned into the primary medium for influencing public opinion and shaping cultural norms. For Baby Boomers, television was not just a source of entertainment but a window to the world, offering new perspectives and educational content that were previously inaccessible, and our experts in this area of the site explore television’s impact on how we grew up and its influence today.
Shows like I Love Lucy, The Ed Sullivan Show, and Leave it to Beaver were not merely entertainment; they were reflections of American life and values. Shows such as The Twilight Zone and The Andy Griffith Show explored complex social themes and presented idealized visions of American life, respectively, resonating deeply with baby boomers. Television emerged as a powerful tool for social change during the 1950s and 1960s, addressing issues from civil rights to the Vietnam War. Television profoundly influenced the baby boomers, shaping our values, preferences, and perceptions.

Photo by Geralt via PixabayAttract the Right Job or Clientele:How to Take an Admirable Plus Commanding LeadMy upfront confession is that I had never watched sports on television before, as other things were on my mind. However, there is a lot of buzz about the new Commanders’ Coach and the new Team. I surprised everyone last Sunday by sitting down to watch the Commanders play. With business always in mind, I focused on their strategic plays, which significantly differed from previous seasons. You may wonder how football may be related to business growth. Sports is a huge in…

Last year we visited adaptive tools for the kitchen. After a year, I haven’t yet purchased a set of ‘Forghetti’ pasta forks (it’s still on my list). Like many of us, need is generally what motivates me; I continue to manage my pasta with my simple utensils, so hence no Forghetti (yet). Both my husband and I tend to be kitchen ‘gear-heads’ so I imagine it’s coming someday soon. As I mentioned in Universal Design in Kitchen Utensils, “adaptive tools” (as the name implies) help us adapt to our special needs. Last year’s blog concentrated on the kitchen, a place where these too…
