Generation before taught us :
1) It was good to smoke, in fact life would just be better all around if you do. Please smoke anywhere you want, even around babies.
2) They taught us to drink, life is just plain better if you do.
3) They sent us to Viet Nam to stimulate the economy.
4) They gave us color television to entertain us.
5) We learned to ride bicycles without helmets or knee pads
6) We rode around in cars without seat belts
7) We were involved in the whole racial revolution because of the wonderful many previous generations prejudice.
8) We were taught that it was ok to dump waste oil in the sewer.
9) We were taught that it was ok to dump waste on the whole evironment.
10) We were taught that natural resources were basically endless.
11) We were taught to buy American products and support our economy.
12) People with long hair, or looked different were bad.
Now what have Baby Boomers created:
1) The computer that you are on right now and the whole internet system.
2) Smoking is basically no longer socially a plus. (I smoke)
3) We have raised a bunch of very spoiled children because we gave them everything.
4) We have invented CDs, DVRs .
5) We have basically ruined the economy for future generations by not adhearing to what we were taught on line 11 above.
6) ESPN and the whole cable network, satellite tv
7) We have developed the world economy much to my dismay.
8) We have gone to war to wipe out terrorism.
Is this close to what you were looking for?

This is not bad except you mislabel the 2nd part as Baby Boomers.
Baby boom ran from 1947 to 1965, so it covers both generations you are discussing.
