While it can be argued that anyone born between the years 1946 -1964 is a "Baby Boomer" demographically, it's when I evaluate the psychographics of that generation where the argument doesn't hold. I'm with President Obama on embracing the post-boomer mentality.
With the speed of technology shortening our attention spans, measuring a generation in 20-year spans is irrelevant. Today's world is less about labels and more about attitude, focus and vision.
This country and our new administration needs energized citizens who will transcend labels and align with every generation who understands that what was torn apart and stripped down during the tumultuous 60s, can and will be reorganized and revitalized, paving the way, finally, for the rebirth of a great citizenry.
This post was inspired by a new column announced in The New York Times called Generation B. Michael Winerip will provide reporting and personal thoughts on the boomer life and late middle age. With 1.7 million baby boomer blogs alone, he seems a little late to the party.
But I welcome another voice trying to make sense of the unexpected. Boomers could just be the last generation to read newsprint.
