The USA social conventions have changed quite significantly over the past
50 years, haven't they?  But that is OK, the younger people on this list
will likely have the opportunity to experience far greater changes over
the next 50 years, especially given increasing fractions of people's
life experiences being publicly recorded.  It would be interesting to
see how they react, but I probably won't be around to witness it.  ;-)
