Generational Differences

I gave a keynote presentation yesterday at Boeing. At the end, a young lady came up to me and said she didn't have a business card, but that she would send me an e-mail. She said, "It's probably a generational thing. People in my generation don't usually carry a business card."

Then she realized she had basically just called me OLLLDDD, and quickly said, "Although you're probably not much older than me." Nice try, I thought, considering I'm probably twenty years older at least.

I said, "You know, I really don't buy into the generational differences that much. I think people are people."

She said something like, "Well, when we webex someone the control-c usually means you're mad so it was confusing to receive that idea."

I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. She said, "You don't know what I'm talking about, do you?" I said, "No, but I now believe in generational differences."
