Aye, but I was wondering how many of today's teens know much about herI'm 31 and could only tell you the key moments of her time in office as it all took place before I turned 10.
so I don't know if people born in, say, 1994 would be able to hold a balanced discussion on her...

they could if they´d discovered some phenomena called writing or speakingwhereupon information encoded into symbols called words can be deciphered, revealing data about the past that extends even more that 20 years back. You can find words in human speech, books, and even websites. It can allow you know something about an event you didn´t even personally witness

I don't see what living through an experienece has to do with itIf you stopped a random person on the street and asked them to explain what caused the current recession you're likely to get little further than "bloody bankers innit?". In twenty years I'd far rather have a discussion with someone who has recently studied the recession in school/uni, even if they werne't born at the time, then that same person on the street - especially after time has entrenched the bias in their views and dimmed their memory.
