According to "What the Dormouse said" [1], there were a couple main differences between them and us: 1. They grew up in a world without personnal computers, and had the time to _read_ _books_ ; 2. They had the pressure of either coming up with very bright ideas to impress their Pentagon-related funders, or get send to play real-life Call of Duty in Vietnam ; 3. They were almost free to invent whatever they had in mind since the class of "managers / deciders which no technical roots" had not really emerged yet ; 4. They were periodically high on LSD. Whereas we're mostly now working in a billion dollars industry with strong incentive for conservativeness of products, with a pop-culture discipline rather than engineering culture, where it's pretty easy to get "something" on the screen, lots of high paying but menial jobs available - and we have to do it only on coffee !
