Welcome the Tech-Savvy Generation

When you're young, being told that you seem very mature or older than your years is generally seen as a compliment. But once you pass a certain age, this drifts more and more into the area of insult. At that point in life people would much rather hear that they seem younger than they are, or at least that they're young at heart.

That's why I was especially interested in a report that our sister publication Baseline reported on recently. In an upcoming survey, Symantec and Applied Research-West interviewed workers in both Generation X and the new generation of workers born after 1980, which they refer to as the Millennials.

While the survey results that Baseline reported on were interesting, on a personal level I was very happy to see how much my own responses matched up with the Millennials despite the fact that I'm on the older side of Generation X. All right! These twenty-somethings are my people! I knew I was born before my time.

Seriously though, the results of the survey look to be definitely interesting, especially for those who are managing IT now and in coming years.
