Your insight on my generation is profound and on target. Who knew our early independence would lead to our resourcefulness?

At 36, I think the observations on efficiencies among other things is right on. Coincidentally this summer, I did an informal assessment of my friends on Facebook and was excited to find that a solid 60 percent were over 35. Many of these friend's careers don't touch marketing, communications or tech, so I found it rewarding to see the speed of the groundswell. At that time, the knowledge that we didn't have computers in high school, used word processors in college and didn't get cell phones until our mid-to-late 20s made my revelation that much cooler, but not surprising. We are extremely resourceful generation after all (the upside of being allowed to roam the neighborhood until called for dinner), adept at creating efficiencies in our busy lives.
