Boomers to millennials, the vulnerable generations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new, social, technologies are great, aren’t they? Well, if you’re of the current generation, and ‘tech’ has been part of your life while you’re growing up, they are as easy as ‘falling off a log.’ But for us ‘baby boomers,’ born during the fifties and sixties, ‘Gen X’ the seventies and eighties, and ‘millennials, till the end of the century, then you would fall off that log. You may be competent without being confident, and are being overpowered by the ‘tech.’ Recent research tells us that t

In God we trust... in leadership we offer trust. Yet the qualities of leadership are many; so are we asking too much of those whom we choose ‘democratically’ to lead us?
