Let me make this perfectly clear

"This is the first tech-savvy retirement generation...Maybe they didn't grow up with it as a teen and in college, but they have been living with it for the past 15 years," said David Kelley.

We didn't grow up with it because we *invented* it Mr Kelley . . . and have been living with it ever since. That's why we are so "tech-savvy"

Excellent Point.

Never thought about it that way, but you are absolutly right.

The Toy that 50+ Built But Didn't Get to Play with...until now

Did you guess what it is? It's the internet, and today the fastest growing demographic online is comprised of ages 50, and up.

eGenerations.com is my venture (also coming soon SeniorsGrandCentral.com) for this demographic, and unlike Eons and it's $32M in venture capital, eGenerations.com has experience a 1100% growth rate, and has Members in 46 different countries.

Over the past year I've become very intimate with this demographic, and discovered the same thing when I pose this question, "What would I be like I was 80..or 50..or 65?". The answer? The same!
Fun would still be..well..fun, and while my life stage may have progressed, I'd still generally be the same person, and desire many of the same things I do today. Like a fine wine, we enhance with age, but our cores (from what I've found) don't change much.

So what's my point? Old dogs, and new dogs still learn new tricks, and are seeking to take advantage of the wealth of possibility offered through technological means.
