Today, I came to the Adobe InDesign Workshop Productivity Tour in the LA Convention Center with some of the Baron Banner crew: Victoria, Sabrina, and Claudia. I thought things would just be just a teach and learn about InDesign more thing...And it somewhat was...but, boy, did I get more than I came for. And the thing that came to my mind the most, was how strange the humor of all the adults were in the room, finding humor in a whole bunch of things, I would have never gotten as funny or laughed at.

We were the youngest of all the attendees of the workshop and after awhile from the moment we entered the room, we got used to that and I'm pretty sure, the adults around us we're trying to get used to it too. But everytime the instructor made a joke, or did something "funny"...or perhaps some adults made a funny remark, they all laughed...of course they did, didn't they? I mean they're adults. But something about it, somewhat, freaked me out.
I then began to get into some deep thinking about while listening on to the InDesign seminar. It's amazing how different human being change within the years: styles, attitude, fashion, technology, knowledge, etc. But it happens through each generation that passes by. What our parent generation's sense of humor, for example in my point of view, they could find things completely funny that teens or kids of our generation would be all like...I don't get it...how do you find this funny? And sometimes through the seminar, I would just shake my head, smiling to myself, at the adults laughing. "Oh my gosh..." I would say to myself. It would be vice versa from the children to the adults as well. But there are still similarity in humor as well in some areas of those generations. America's Funniest Videos. Most of those videos, who wouldn't laugh? Some videos, although, some would be like... that's not funny...while the rest of their peers are cracking up like crazy.

Humor changes then around between generation and generation and, I bet, if I knew how to speak completely fluent Vietnamese and I tried making a joke with my greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreat (you get it) grandfather or grandmother. They probably would have never gotten it...UNLESS without even knowing it, our sense of style that varies between each generation goes in a various cycle.
Everyone in each generation has their own sense of definition in life or how they make up their generation. It's very peculiar and very interesting...I can't believe I actually would come to think of that...but now that I think about it, isn't it true?
It reminds me of genetics--how you get half of your mom's chromosomes and half of your dad's, but how I see it, part of the similarities of interest from the previous generation and a mix of your own interest you find yourself that makes the generation unique than the other.
Next time I go to something with almost all adults, I'll just sit, listen, and think about how different our generation has merged off of their branch.
