Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 12:37pm on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 | Nickelodeon Says Generation Gap Closing; Families Now More Connected By Tastes And Tech
"A new Nickelodeon research study, titled "The Family GPS," reports that the generation gap is a thing of the past as today's increasingly multi-generational American families are united by an expanding set of values and converging tastes.
The study finds that new cultural attitudes, technology and the current economic climate are drawing today's American families closer together and changing how parents raise, and regard, their children compared to how their parents raised them.
"Instead of being divided by tastes and clashing over values and things like music and entertainment choices, today's families are being drawn closer together by them, as well as embracing new value systems of tolerance and acceptance," said Ron Geraci, Senior Vice President, Nickelodeon Research.
