To George Orwell, 1984 signified a big-brother world under omnipresent surveillance. Orwell missed the Bush administration by about two decades.
To me, 1984 represents a new generation characterized by the arrival of my big sister, the birth year on my fake ID and the introduction of the very first Macintosh computer. Together, these elements of 1984 define a generation that never knew life without computers and continues to mature at hi-speed.
