I am in my 40’s and consider myself extremely technically savvy (I am a chief architect). My kids are 12 and 10. When I was their age, I knew nothing about technology. My kids are unbelievably knowledgeable about technology and their generation has such a huge head start that I can only imagine how they will change the world when the enter the workforce. I have started using many social networking tools over the past two years to try to understand the value that the younger generations are seeing in the tools. The end result is that these tools have greatly enhanced my career through networking with smart people all over the world. The irony is that my company sees no value in these tools and many of them are not even aware of what is available. We need to ask ourselves, if we do not embrace these tools, are we making ourselves outdated and irrelevant?
