Smack in the middle of the baby boomers! It's been interesting - witnessing the women's movement (I remember job classifieds separated by gender, and my first job at a fast food place with the boss telling me, "we're taking a chance on hiring a girl," and bird clubs that did not admit women as members).
I watched, as a kid and teenager, the civil rights movement, the space age, the transformation of popular music (haha, I still smile when I go into a random grocery or other store and hear the soundtrack of my youth - we boomers still are the default), the explosion of higher education, the birth of environmentalism (there were a few state parks in my youth, but NOTHING like the preserves, the trails, the restored prairies there are now), and the decline of organized religion (although that is a bit deceptive, organized religion only hit a high pont in the 50s).
But, wow, witnessing the computer revolution was and is amazing. I really was "before and after." I was in graduate school when personal computers came into being, the internet a decade later. I feel that this was the second industrial revolution, although that label is misleading. And I witnessed it. I've tried to write down my impressions, and I urge all of you in the same age group to do the same. Believe me, historians will treasure these recollections - and not just simple "I used a typewriter before, then a computer," but how WE THINK this affected our daily lives - our work habits, our thinking, our organization of time - all that changed. And it's not done. And the impact is still unfolding.
