How old is America now??

도로 사진 RLT #2: Magnificent Three Forks Ranch and Little Snake River

I was intrigued and amazed when I read about Steve's trip to Three Forks Ranch in Colorado!

The ranch in Colorado looked like it was from the 19th century!😀
The sight of a lonely ranch on a vast plain without people looked similar to a scene from a western movie!

Steve took great pictures of the ranch, but it was a shame that he didn't take pictures of the people who lived on the ranch!

This is because I have never seen Americans living in isolation from American urban civilization!

America's largest cities are mainly concentrated on the east and west coasts, and there are few cities in the vast interior of the North American continent.

People who traveled to the interior of the North American continent said there were endless grasslands, forests, deserts, and mountain ranges.
However, they said that they were afraid because there were not many people in that vast world.

They said that even if they drove by, there were no inhabited villages and the endless no-man's land was a scary place!

Looking at Steve's photos, I guessed that life for Americans in the middle of the North American continent was like it was in the 19th century!

I wonder if they live in a Christian feudal society, perhaps like in the 19th century.

In my favorite movie, Jeremiah Johnson, the people of the Rocky Mountains were hunters who rejected urban civilization.

Life in the American wilderness was very dangerous and painful!😮
I thought it would be that difficult for people living in the wild nature instead of the current American cities!
Are they living such a lonely and difficult life for their freedom?

I guessed that the world Steve lives in is different from megacities like New York and Los Angeles in the United States!

The Twilight Zone is an American media franchise based on the anthology television series created by Rod Serling in which characters find themselves dealing with often disturbing or unusual events, an experience described as entering "the Twilight Zone". The episodes are in various genres, including fantasy, science fiction, absurdism, dystopian fiction, suspense, horror, supernatural drama, black comedy, and psychological thriller, frequently concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist, and usually with a moral. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to common science fiction and fantasy tropes. The first series, shot entirely in black-and-white, ran on CBS for five seasons from 1959 to 1964.

The Twilight Zone followed in the tradition of earlier television shows such as Tales of Tomorrow (1951–53) and Science Fiction Theatre (1955–57); radio programs such as The Weird Circle (1943–45), Dimension X (1950–51) and X Minus One (1955–58); and the radio work of one of Serling's inspirations, Norman Corwin. The success of the series led to a feature film (1983), a TV film (1994), a radio series (2002–12), various literature, theme park attractions and various other spin-offs that spanned five decades, including three revival television series. The second series (1985–89) ran on CBS and in syndication in the 1980s, while the third series ran on UPN (2002–03). The fourth Twilight Zone series, helmed by Jordan Peele, was released on CBS All Access from 2019 to 2020.

TV Guide ranked the original TV series #5 in their 2013 list of the 60 greatest shows of all time and #4 in their list of the 60 greatest dramas.[2][3]

I imagined Steve's boyhood years watching The Twilight Zone!
I had fun seeing America in the 1950s as seen in The Twilight Zone!
I assumed Steve had watched The Twilight Zone as a kid!

I was surprised by how different the America of the 1950s in The Twilight Zone was from the America of today!😲

From my perspective, America in the 1950s felt like European society in the 19th century!

도로 사진 Earl Holliman in "Where Is Everybody?"

"Where Is Everybody?" is the first episode of the American anthology television series The Twilight Zone and was originally broadcast on 2 October 1959, on CBS. It is one of the most realistic Twilight Zone episodes, as it features no supernatural elements and is based on fairly straightforward extrapolation of science.

The drama “Where Is Everybody?” is surprising because it reveals Americans living in fear of nuclear war!
The image of a man shivering in fear and loneliness alone in a city where everyone has disappeared is reminiscent of Americans in the 1950s who lived in fear of nuclear war!

I guessed that Steve must have lived in the 1950s under the fear of nuclear war!

In the drama, I became curious about America's current age while watching an American trembling with fear and anxiety alone in a city with no one around!

The people currently ruling America will be around the same age as Steve!
Both Biden and Trump would have lived similar lives in the 1950s as Steve!
I concluded that The Twilight Zone, produced in the 1950s, reflects the emotions, ideas, and worldview of the generation currently ruling America!

So, I felt like I could understand my esteemed senior Steve's boyhood while watching The Twilight Zone produced in the 1950s!😄

For everyone, the teenage years are the most important time in life!
I guessed that Biden, Trump, and Steve spent their boyhood watching The Twilight Zone!

So, I guessed that America is currently 80 years old, just like Biden and Trump are!!

I thought The Twilight Zone contained the dreams, hopes, despair, and visions of the future of the generation currently ruling America!

I felt that watching The Twilight Zone gave me some insight into the nature of America today!

PS: I hope Steve isn't offended by my awkward and rude English!😂
