Generation Gap?

Look at the comments I have to put up with from some of the young women that I work with at the pharmacy.

*”Led Zeppelin, Who are they?”*

*”Who’s Captain Kirk?”*

*”What’s a TARDIS?”*

*Blank Look*, when I said “Hope I die before I get old”

As unfortunate as all of the above are, a sign of what I call *Cultural Illiteracy*, they are nothing compared to this:

*”Julius Caesar, isn’t he an actor?”*

AARGH! Western Culture is (by definition) that which traces its routes to Rome. Given that Julius is (as I heard him described recently) “the most famous Roman”, what hope do we have when these (near to) 20 year olds, recently finished school, **haven’t even heard of him!!**
