Once a Boomer gets over the fear of the technology, they can become as adept as the younger generations, and there are those of us to just lap this stuff up. I also do run into Boomers every day (about 1 out of every 4) who don't use e-mail or text and gasp when I mention social networks, and they don't really use modern day tools in their businesses. And they then wonder why they can't attract young talent. Yes Sandy…you are so right.

Not only can it be done, but boomers can be as comfortable with computers and technology as the younger generations.
