Generation Jones - Episode 8
from Generation Jones Hosted by Kelley Garcia
Yes, there was an episode 7 - just didn't post it here. All Generation Jones podcasts are primarily made for Kelzone Radio. This week Rob was all about Space, especially Artemis. For tech I discussed VR head mounted displays (HMDs) and my passion for getting back to my Quest 3s. In Newsworthy I discussed Anthropic NOT releasing Mythos because it's too powerful. For musical choice this week I picked Gil Scott-Heron. Rob picked Also Sprach Zarathustra and the 2001 soundtrack which is also the KELZONE ostotw. As a side note: We have decided to attempt to make our podcasts politics-free, particularly current regime free starting with this one. We'll see how long that lasts. You want to get a glimpse into what Generation Jones folks are like, this might be a good place to start. As a reminder (from wiki): Generation Jones is the generation or social cohort sandwiched between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. The term was coined in 1999 by American cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, who has argued that the term refers to a distinct generation born from 1954 to 1965. Media coverage of Generation Jones has typically described it as a distinct generation, using Pontell's dates of 1954 to 1965. Others see this as a subset of the Baby Boom Generation, namely its second half. A third view is that Generation Jones is a cusp or micro-generation between the Boomers and Xers, using only the 1960s as birth years. Dictionary.com defines Generation Jones as "members of the generation of people born in the Western world between the mid-1950s and the mid-1960s". This is a public episode.
