Not really tech trends, but rather, product trends. Still interesting. I think the biggest takeaway is: just because your parents are clueless about the generation gap doesn't mean that you are not either. Don't bring in your assumptions. (And following that: tech is now iterating fast enough that a "generation gap" can now be seen among siblings, not just parent-children).
