The friction between the young and old exists for ages. The joint family concept had the elders putting the flame off now and then. The younger generation of these days had to meekly submit to the advice of the elders and worked themselves up to success.
This kind of generation gap happens more when the children grow up and the son gets married. Nowadays the parenting concept accepts only parents and not the grandparents. The competitive world makes the parents concentrate more on their children who have to mould their career and settle in life rather than spend time for their old parents who are becoming more and more dependent on their children as they grow older.
The old parents being alive are considered to be a burden. The son is more enthusiastic about giving the best to his children and wants them to compete with their peers. He does not want to lose control over them and certainly feels that there should be a set pattern in bringing up his children.
Has the new generation gap, which is emerging now, taken a turn to disregard the elders? Or should the older persons step down and adjust to the new developments?

This is a 2nd Generation POD = Starts with a basic POD but has developed to the point that it closely resembles the basic shape of the specific ship it represents. The POD still exist as the cockpit of the ship.
Ride it and you will know what it feels like.

While Amtrak's California Zephyr works the Truckee station stop, UP 5293 West (Z-NPOA) holds at Bridge Street for the "Big Hole" to clear. Today's Z train with a 4x1 configuration, they will waste no time getting over the last bit of Donner Pass, despite the snow storm that will impede traffic on the Interstate.

According to Wikipedia, generations, or social generations, "are cohorts of people who were born in the same date range and share similar cultural experiences." In the Western World, probably the oldest known social generation with a name was the Lost Generation describing those who were born between 1883 and 1900 who lived through World War I. The most famous generation of our time is probably the Baby Boomers Generation, which spans 1946 up to 1964 describing those who were born during the baby boom years after World War II. After the Baby Boomers, generation names become a little lame as they go by X, Y, and Z as in Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z (lol... I feel really bad for those who would be born after Generation Z because there are no more letters of the alphabets left).
Generation Z is the current generation and is the generation that Evelyn is born into. Like I said, I think this name is lame and I don't like it. I think a better name for Evelyn's generation and those who are being born around this time should be called the "Smart Generation;" the word "smart" here stands for smart devices like in smart phones, smart tablets, etc... Evelyn is going to grow up not knowing what a rotary phone is; she's not going to know what a land line is; and she's not going to know why a "ringtone" is so named when most phones don't even ring. The only reason that she's going to know that a computer has a keyboard and a monitor is because she's going to see her daddy's old dinosaur. ;)
Evelyn's been exposed to smart devices at such a young age that they are going to be second nature to her. These devices would probably impact Evelyn's generation more than any other generations before her. At only 8 months old, Evelyn already knows to swipe her fingers at an iPad to move the images, and she's already posted her first Facebook message using her mommy's iPhone. Evelyn's generation should be called the Smart (Devices) Generation.
A pair of young, millennials watch with great curiosity as the crew of Great Western Locomotive #90 performs some switching moves at Groff's Grove on the Pennsylvania's Strasburg Rail Road in November of 2011. Although this photo was captured just before smart phones and other personal electronics became pervasive in our society, the two young women pictured here had still likely grown up amidst a sea of technology and a quality of life that was never even envisioned by the generation that built the big decapod back in 1924. As ancient as this massive machine may seem to them, the truth is that this was the technology that made possible all that we have today. Steam locomotives were the first machines built by humans that could move, at will, under their own power. They greatly expanded the ability of humans to travel, and they facilitated the industrial revolution that brought us all of the technology we have today. Hopefully, these two young women can appreciate that the fire-breathing monster before them is largely responsible for the virtually every piece of technology that we all take for granted today.
This image was captured during November of 2011, when the Strasburg Rail Road's regular excursions were operating only between East Strasburg and Groff's Grove, because a construction crew was in the process of completely replacing the only bridge on the railroad, just about half a mile to the east of the siding there.

My old one in her new dress;) I never understood this look when I was a kid. I thought it was ultra weird how her legs were exposed!lol
Three generations, and three of the coolest women you'll ever know. Strobist: AB800 at 1/4 power, through medium PBuff octabox, camera right. Using a PB Vagabond II power source, and fired with Pocket Wizards.
I think of myself as the young guy but I think we all know I'm the old guy. Totally sketchy bar they're in front of, there.
Please spend some time looking at footage of the ICE rampage going on in Chicago. It's a shitshow. Masked men in unmarked cars grabbing random landscapers and their children in the streets. May karma find each and every one of these ICE guys.

The second generation of the Zaporozhets was a series of subcompact cars, production starting of the 966 in November 1966, although the prototype was working on as 1961. It had a completely restyled bodywork (done entirely by ZAZ), no longer resembling the Fiat 600 and arguably similar to the Chevrolet Corvair or the NSU Prinz. This was an effort to cure some of the 965's issues, such as torsion bars that lost tension, suicide doors, and engine overheating and noise. The engine was the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) 887 cc (54.1 cu in) MeMZ 966A. A radio was standard equipment. The price had inched up, too, from 1,800 rubles at the 965's debut to 2,200 by 1969.
While featuring a larger two-door notchback saloon body, it still featured an air-cooled V4 engine and featured more prominent air intakes – the so-called "ears", although a decorative chrome grille was also present. The car's rear suspension was also replaced. The 966 started out as the simpler ZAZ-966V (ЗАЗ-966В in Cyrillic) with the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) engine from the 965A, which was also featured on all later models. Much like the 965A, the 966V was also produced in several special variants for the disabled (VR, VB, VB2 - until January 1973). It was produced in tandem with the 965 from November 1966 to May 1969.
ZAZ launched an upgraded 966B in 1968, powered by a new 40 hp (30 kW; 41 PS) 1,197 cc (73.0 cu in) MeMZ 968 V4, while the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) 966A-powered model became the 966-1 which was only ever produced in small numbers. The 966B, weighing in at 780 kg (1,720 lb), was heavier than the earlier model, but faster, reaching 75 mph (121 km/h).[11]
The 966 was discontinued in 1972, with the introduction of the ZAZ 968.
Nicknamed "Zapo" in the Eastern Bloc, the 966 was also popular in Western Europe, including some Scandinavian countries and France. Some markets fitted a 956 cc (58.3 cu in) Renault engine.

Single generation of the 124 series, a mid-size premium range manufactured by Mercedes-Benz between 1984 and 1997. Pictured is the third and final phase of the estate (internal code S124) which was manufactured between 1993 and 1996. This phase coincided with the official recognition of the range as the E-Class (this included changing the names of the cars so that all begin with an 'E').
With over 2.500.000 manufactured during their life cycle, no one can deny the success of the 124 range. It was replaced by the second generation of the E-Class, the range 210, beginning in 1995.

The first generation of Ford Thunderbird (1955-57) was unveiled at the 1954 Detroit Auto Show on 20th February 1954 and the first car went on sale 22nd October 1954 for the 1955 model year. 3500 orders were placed in the first ten days and 1955 sales reached 16155 against Fords projection of 10000, for 1956 sales remained brisk closing the year at 15631.
The car came as a convertable or coupe and powered by a 292 Ci Y block V8 though a 312 Ci Y-block V8 was available as an option.
For 1956 more trunk space was added, the spare wheel was mounted on outside exhausts were moved to the end of the bumper and air vents were added behind the front wheels to improve cabin ventilation. Transmission was either through a Fordomatic Automatic or manual overdrive. The car featured four way powered seats, and push button interior door handles. Designed as a brisk luxury tourer the car was well capable of between 110-120 mph.
For 1957 the front bumper was reshaped, the grille and tailfins were made larger, and larger tail-lights were fitted. The spare wheel moved back inside the trunk, which had been redesigned to allow it to be mounted vertically. The side "Thunderbird" script moved from the fins to the front fenders. A new option was "Dial-o-Matic" 4-way power seats that, when you turned off the ignition, the seat would move back to allow easier exiting. As well as the standard 292 and 312 engines, versions of the 312 were produced in higher states of tune,
