Note that those over 82 ( born before 1928) are considered the Greatest Generation
Makes sense that Civics would have a hard time with social networking and blogs which are constantly changing, not necessarily stable or secure, and certainly don ’ t delay gratification– we once lived in an era where you had to wait to develop film. Now, you can immediately post a picture to the internet for everyone to see.
Civics attach a “ premium ” to these “ lost traits ” – consider them fundamentals that have been lost in today ’ s fast-paced, techno driven world
"You can have Gen Y-ers who are busy looking at their BlackBerrys. They've got their laptops flipped open, they're engaging in social networking right during the course of a meeting, and you have a boomer rolling their eyes, not understanding it," says Michael Walsh, the CEO for LexisNexis U.S. Legal Markets. "Two-thirds of boomers that were surveyed indicated that they felt that use of devices, technology — such as e-mail, social networking, the Internet, etc. — contributed to a decline in office etiquette."
In this section you could talk about using social media to give them individualized attention– specifically @ replies, DMs, responding to complaints, etc.
Boomers are the generation that could, eventually, very much user social media to push a cause– since they are the original involved generation.

48 million as opposed to 78 million Boomers and 75 million Y ’ ers (sandwiched!) Self reliant: I can depend on me. That ’ s it. Change enabled: Their worlds constantly changed, i.e. divorce Technoliterate: came of age with computers; first generation to do so Pragmatic: get to the bottom line (cynical – I don ’ t need the fluff, thanks) Diverse: grew up with diversity, PC movements Original latchkey kids - 2/3 are children of Boomers (this is an important dynamic – core values overwhelmingly developed out of the latchkey experience)
X ’ ers want to know – do you speak ‘ tech ’ ?
Could talk here about developing a social media policy particularly for this generation Could focus on this generation being one to target for donations, and getting involved (Obama campaign, volunteering, etc.)
This is the generation the fueled MySpace and Facebook. Takes a confident generation to put their own profiles up on the internet, right? Interesting to note they also are about community, they just may be focusing on their online community at the same time as their in-person board meeting community
One of the reasons MySpace is so popular with high school aged kids– they like being able to personalize their page to not be like anyone else.
Lesley ’ s opinion: This generation is always onto the next best thing. They try new technology. They are early adopters. When they see grandparents showing up on Facebook, they may leave for other sites like FourSquare. (In fact,
