Objects of our generation

How do we define ourselves inside a generation? When do we become aware of the fact that we were a part of a generation? What do we say about “our generation”? These are questions that I want to try and answer through personal memories during communist period. My hypothesis (proved through several discussions with people from the same generation) is that during communism, as we all have access to the same objects and our parents purchasing the same items, our childhood was populated by the same “stuff”: same puppets, a little toy piano etc. In function of social dynamics, other items “appeared”, like colorful pencils and nice smelling raisers. As little children, I and my friends really had the same objects. I want to see how you think objects around you and what role do they have in your life.
