“Some Things Never Change”

The technological advancements of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries are nothing less then mind-boggling. Each generation, from the good old Baby Boomer, with his computer illiterate ways, through the Generation Xer’s of the 80’s and 90’s to the wireless Generation Y have had to cope with constant change. Will it ever end?

This high energy theatrical piece takes us on a light-speed tour of the last 40 years and looks at how each generation handles the technical changes that the next generation brings. It exposes our unfortunate human trait of complacency and takes a light-hearted look at our deep-seated fear of change.

When “Barry the Baby Boomer”, “Jenny X” and the young upstart from the “Y” generation are all expected to work together. Will it all work out, or will it end in technical disaster.
