To go along with the last post on corporations embracing youth and technology, Mathew Ingram pointed out an excellent article from the NY Times describing the transition from generation to generation as youth redefine the way news and information is transfered from source to end-user (and arguably from end-user to end-user). Mathew sums up perfectly my thoughts on the benefits of integrating technology-abled youth into the everyday workings of the corporate world:“In other words, social networking of all kinds including Twitter, IM, Facebook and so on — has become a dominant means of news delivery for young people in a way that I’m not sure old geezers like myself quite grasp, no matter how often people describe it.”While there are exceptions to every rule, the new ways of communicating, gathering information, making decisions, and getting things done is not something that can easily be learned or taught; but it can be embraced.
