Generation style: style icons through time

Physically, we have many tools to gauge something: thermometers, rulers, and beakers are just a few. Socially, we have less. In fact, to gauge the inner minds of those whose company we are gracing, there is a rather reliable social gauge that we often find ourselves turning to in times...
