Carla B, my point was that - much of this didn't apply to people born in the last years of that "1%" era - such as the Great Depression, which was over before they were born. And much of it isn't specific or exclusive to the "1%" era - such as going out to play, or walking to the store, or not using electric calculators. And at least one item was simply - untrue. The city playgrounds, which first existed over 20 years before the FIRST 1%'er was born.
Here's another fun fact about the term "1%ers" or "One Percenters" - it is the designation of the 1% of motorcycle clubs that are outlaws. This designation was coined in response to a comment made by the AMA (American Motorcycle Association) in 1947, about how 99% of bikers are lawful. That 1% were the outliers (most of whom were born prior to 1930).
