In flipping through Time Magazine's Person of the Year edition over the holiday, I found only two people in its profiles of "the citizens of the new digital democracy" over 40 years of age. Most are in their 20s. Here are the ages: 20, 29, 22, 22, 35, 21, 34, 32, 54, 25, 25, 45, 21.He goes on to describe how corporates view capability and creativity as being inversely correlated – especially in any profession that has ‘digital’ in its name.
He concludes his article by saying: “it's not hard to feel that an entire generation of older Americans is being offshored culturally; treated as irrelevant has-beens of a digital future”.
This blog posting is well worth reading. Dick Stroud
