That amazing British TV series Downton Abbey illustrates the parallels between 1912 and 2012. This week we feature insights from Downton Abbey.
The show begins in 1912 with the sinking of the Titanic, but its real insights come from the changes in daily living that the show portrays, changes we are going through today in 2012.
We cover some of those insights and parallels this week.
To start, in the first episodes we see a carriages and motor cars on the road at the same time.
Ten years earlier almost everyone rode in carriages. Ten years later almost everyone rode in cars.
Today we see Boomers in autos, and at the same time we see Gen Y in trains.
Ten years earlier almost everyone rode in autos. In ten years almost everyone (40 and under) will ride in trains and on light rail.
