You listen to this famous and catchy French song, and you tell me if the French gentleman who wrote these lyrics back in 1966<\/span> has never been more right today than he ever was…<\/p>\n The French singer, Jacques Dutronc<\/span>, summarizes the process quite well:<\/p>\n The narcissism and egomania<\/a> of the “Baby Boomers” (his own generation, that is)<\/p>\n with its typical “et moi, et moi, et moi<\/em><\/span>” (“and me, and me, and me<\/span>“)<\/p>\n would naturally give rise to\u00a0the “Clueless Generation” (simply called “Generation X.<\/span>“)<\/p>\n The “Generation X” would in turn set the stage for the “Generation Y<\/span>“, which, ironically, rarely asks the question “why?” (just “whY not<\/a>?”)<\/p>\n Finally, since we’re in 2012 and are already running out of letters of the alphabet, comes the ultimate “Generation Z<\/span>“, with its characteristic “ADD”, “ADHD”, and other catchy acronyms<\/a> that refer to the shortest attention span ever experienced by humans.<\/p>\n As Jacques Dutronc succinctly puts it in the song: “J’y pense, et puis j’oublie<\/a><\/em>“<\/p>\n (“I think about it, then I forget”)<\/p>\n Right before he says: “C’est la vie, c’est la vie<\/em><\/span>“<\/p>\n “That’s life, that’s life<\/span>.”<\/p>\n
