Amazon has once again partnered with Twitter to push the ecommerce’s social media shopping efforts.

Grandchildren want digital connections with their grandparents. Are you staying current enough to be there – where ever that is – when they ask for it?

The 15 year old keeps me on my toes and teaches me what I need to know.

We do not like to be lumped into a single group based on our age, gender, weight, race or anything else. So why is it that those selling technology have not figured this out. We are all different even though there may be some similarities it is no more a prerequisite than other psychographic or demographic markers.
With that in mind, I wanted to know how are Boomers using the Internet and what is the level of Digital understanding among those born between 1945 and1964.
