Me too! What a multi-tasker! (Kristine C) || || Will Yeo

Will Yeo || I saw this picture and felt that it was perfect. This individual has so much going on that even I, who am about the same age, am confused. I am pretty tech savy but I cant even relate to this guy.

This picture may not be the best representation of the baby boomers ability to learn about technology but nonetheless I found it entertaining. It shows that the baby boomers lack what we know in terms of technological capabilities and still rely on older methods of communication, knowledge, and entertainment. || What a difference Generations make || B Secker || I also saved this picture when I saw it. I like how they have the Hi-Fi man with a pony tail, shorts, and a wacky shirt. The Wi-Fi business man looks like a corporate fellow. Is the artist portraying Wi-Fi as a more distinguished way of life? (Brad B) This is a great comic. I relate better to the HI-Fi guy! Is that Jimmy Buffett? (Tara H) || Can you believe these kids today? Back in my day... || B Secker || I laughed when I read this because I can imagine that some day students will say this. (Kristie) This is going to be my daughter one day. (Tara H) This reminds me of the almost daily responses I get whenver I try to tell one coworker to complete a project. - His response is always "Can you e-mail it to me so I don't forget?" (RimasP)

@Kristie- The crazy part is that students as young as elementary school are already saying this! I am participating in a course my county (in MD) requires in order to create and maintain a class blog. I am planning to begin the blog with my fifth graders as soon as I have met the requirements of the course- then it's my hope they refer their parents to their blog! (Mary P)

@Rimas- That's my line- "Email me or I'll forget..." too funny. (Mary P) ||
 * [[image:Baby_Boomer.gif width="376" height="295"]] || Kristie A || Too many boomers leave this house this way...(Brian S.)

I don't think so, we do have style (Kathy M.) || Well at least the net generation still appreciates the importance of hygiene! (Tara H) The Net generation is always multi-tasking-- even in the tub! (Kristi O.) || This is fantastic. A teacher comes to mind when I see this image (Brian S.) After several attempts I just figure it out. Way to go Boomer. (Kathy M.) I like this comic! I am the one who never understands the acronyms in a text. Spell it out please! (Tara H) || Not only that, try getting their attention. (Kathy M.) || ( Great custom back then. (Kathy M) || It's Howdy Doody Time! || RimasP || This is what I imagine my dad looked like when he watched TV. When we were growing up my dad always sang the Howdy Doody song and we would look at him and say that show must be an old show. (Kristi O.) || I wonder if they are all talking to each other... || RimasP || Wow, for being so connected, we are somewhat disconnected from society - even at close proximity to one another. (Kristine C). Are they aware of the person beside them? (KathyM) || Don't bother the millenial while she's texting and get off the Boomer's lawn :) || Kristine C ||  || The changing Baby Boomer || Kristine C ||  || The Net Generation || Kristine C ||  || Well said Mary, I can see where there are conflicting views of how the boomer use technology. Yes we don't sit behind a computer all day, we believe in optimization of our time, we don't run to the shop to buy any new gadget that is introduced to the market rather we buy those that we think will enhance our life styles. (Kathy M.) || Exercising indooors with video games, who would have thought of such an idea, what happen to the outdoors. ||

 * [[image:enjoli_pefume.jpg]] || Brad B. || This picture was referred to in one of our readings. The powerful Baby Boomer Enjoli perfume woman. ||

 * [[image:net-generation-21.jpg]] || Tara H || Talk about multitasking:) The net generation are able to talk on a cell phone and text on another at the same time.\
 * [[image:boomers.jpg]] || Tara H || Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band along with many other famous Boomers. This is a great picture, I want to blow it up and hang it on my wall!

 * [[image:2-D-1_boomer.jpg]] || Mary P. || "...it is incorrect to assume that baby boomers are not deriving benefits from these technological advances. In fact boomers are using the internet, but mostly for different purposes than the younger generation. Baby boomers are known to close beneficial online deals, obtain useful information through online searches, benefit from banking and indulge in shopping." (Mary P.)
 * [[image:boomers_jogging.jpg]] || Kristi O |||||| Boomers have been addressing the challenge that has come with more sedentary jobs by making time to exercise. Before their generation people walked to work and had more manual labor and so they did not have as much of a need for exercise. The boomer generation began to see their waistlines expanding and started to realize that exercise needs to be done at times of the day other than the work hours. Schools began to have more physical education classes and health clubs became standard in major cities. Now that they are retiring they have time for more exercise and many are enjoying using their time to enjoy physical activity. (Kristi O) ||
 * [[image:exergames25lf3_90168artw.jpg width="453" height="299"]] || Kristi O |||||| This is physical education class for the Net generation. In one sense I think this is cool that kids can get exercise using video games. Using something they know and love to motivate them to get moving. As someone who loves the outdoors I think it is sad because there is something just wonderful about breathing in fresh air and experiencing nature while excercising. I know that it is necessary to be inside sometimes and can see then place for this just like the tredmill that I am about to buy. (Kristi O)
