Can baby-boomer thinking turn obsolete?

I believe it’s fair to say that our way of thinking is based on the culture and the environment in which we were educated. 

 

Just like a house built in 1947 would be woefully obsolete today, if it had not been regularly maintained, updated, or massively remodeled in an attempt to catching up with the state of the art. The same would happen to a 70 year old person who has not evolved along the way. 

Yet, it’s absolutely true that some of us change a lot while others don’t or hardly modify their views of the world and their way of thinking. It’s obviously a matter a gradation and the more we’re exposed to radically different situations, cultures, methods and way of thinking, the more we’ll be able to keep up with our changing civilization and remain pretty much up-to-date.

The opposite is obviously quite concerning if an individual is to admit that society is generally significantly better today than it was just after World War II. 

At least that’s the way I see that reality.
