Generational Influences&Technology

What are some of the generational influences and implications for embracing technology that is used for communication?

Every generation had at some point their lives impact by some kind of the technology. Our grand parents and great grand parents used telegraph, snail mail to communicate, When it comes to our parents generation,the technology has change and it was very advance for their area, telephone was widely use in homes, fax machine in offices etc... During the 90 the exponential explosion of the DOT COM companies had speed up the discovery of newer and more sophisticate method of communicating. Children of that era were more apt to use the internet and all new technology to communicate than their parents and grand parents.

Unlike their parents, the new generation embrace technology quicker and are always looking for the next best "thing". People who are inventing the technology are themselves consumer and belong to that generation. They cater to their own generational needs.

That need is now front and center of new tools of communicating .. The baby boomer generation can only watch and trying to just keep up, in contrast the X&Y generation are more incline to learn every new technology that is available to them. They used it to live their life differently than their previous generation. They bank online, never write a check, shop online talk and will have the world at their finger tips.
