Surveys show generation technology misconception in use of laptops

The younger generations are often thought of as
being the most tech savvy. However Baby Boomers are actually slightly
more likely than likely to be a laptop user than their offspring.

Two recent studies uncovered the surprising cultural
misconception that Boomers shy away from new technology.

Randstad USA and Harris Interactive, two well-respected
pollsters, discovered Baby Boomers are 3 percent more likely to use a
laptop for work than Generation X.

Even more astonishing, Baby Boomers are 18 percent more likely
to use a laptop at work than Generation Y.

Although the surveys did not address frequency of use or
effectiveness of use they did remind us of the foolishness of judging by
stereotypes.

Generations X
and Y are thought of as being the most tech savvy. This is especially
true with Gen Y where Facebook and You Tube can quickly eat up hours of
time.

It is understandable
that the youngest generation, the Millennial Generation, would use
laptops less as their generation is becoming accustomed to accessing the
Internet through their cell phones.

We know blanket stereotyping leads to wrong conclusions about
individuals. These surveys also prove cultural, and generational,
stereotyping is often wrong when applied to an entire generation.
