Was it better THEN or NOW? THEN is the world from the sixties to the eighties, the world of our parents, older brothers and sisters. NOW is the world today, with its geeks and techies and, obviously, the world we all live in. The idea of this book is quite simple and easily understood through the following examples: Left page: the telegram. Right page: the tweet.Left page: Clark's. Right page: Croc'sLeft page: the Michelin road map and the Gauloise cigarette. Right page: the GPS and the electronic cigarette.The pages on the left are memories of the past, nostalgia for the generations who came of age in the sixties and seventies. The pages on the right blast that nostalgia to pieces and rocket us to today. Depending on one's age, the familiar is on the left and novelty on the right, or vice versa. The book is clearly for all ages and is a pleasure to read thanks to the authors' delightfully subtle sense of humor
