No cyber generation gap here!

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX of Spokane 77217

Remeber the phrase "generation gap" ?

I think it started when the Beatles came over from London. Their long hair was offensive to the hard working generation of the great depression. This created a chasm between adults and teenagers. Ok truth be told, I have no idea when it started, that was just a guess.

But now at age 50, I am proud to say that I talk to my kids daily on facebook. I talk to my friends kids too and my 20 something clients as well. I blog, I text, I twit, I facebook- therefore I am.

Actually we used to utilize this thing called " the home phone" which has also been known as a "land line".

Now, my daughter texts me when I am up in my room working to tell me she is going over to her friends house. I am not suggesting this is all good, but the technological advances are now becoming a way of life, yes in fact the new norm.

I guess if you can't beat 'em you gotta join 'em ! I do enjoy the convenience it brings to my business and my family life.

Bethann, Instant messenger was how I was able to stay in contact with our son through two tours of Iraq.  Now my daughter thinks it is weird that her Mom blogs but oh well!

BethAnn - Although I try to stay on top of all the technical stuff (texting, twitter), and social media (facebook), I still cannot communicate like the twenty somethings.  They have their own language that sometimes I just don't understand, and cannot speak.  I always thought I was one of the cool people, but as I am nearing 45, I am finding that I am losing touch when it comes to the language.

I am still far behind the 20 somethings, but I can fake it!
