Ask again in 15-20 years time... Except that I'm currently expecting most of the SGO's children to turn into Young Conservatives (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/politics/50178.stm) as a form of teenage rebellion.
Not Young Conservatives. There'll be a few who become designer-label fiends and yet find the vapid lifestyle of a trendy somewhat unsatisfying; the odd one who rebels furiously by becoming an enormous fan of whatever the era's equivalent of rave culture is (and whose parents never tell him they were into the same things when they were kids); and a large subset who just end up following in their parents' sincere, bespectacled, overintelligent footsteps but taking up the tools of their own era, as many of the SGO themselves did with their own parents :)
What'll be interesting is to watch the children of the Spectrum generation, the offspring of people who grew up tinkering and fiddling with computers at the lowest level imaginable, growing up with modern PCs..
