Expectations of A Constantly Connected Generation
Technology is transforming society in fundamental ways as new generations grow up using portable digital devices, often before they can even walk or talk. In this 24/7 online world we take connectivity and engagement for granted, evolving into a digitally divided society. The haves and have nots, the online and the disconnected, the technically savvy and the digitally discouraged. From millennials to baby boomers the differences between our generational expectations is growing and a new "fear of the young" has emerged. In this session we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that IT professionals face, and ask the difficult questions necessary to bring our culture together in a truly connected environment.
In this presentation we will examine the historical events that have bookmarked the generations of the past century, and compare these to the recent advanced in technology that have influenced the micro-generations of today: the internet generation, the mobile generation, tablet generation, etc. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see the Indianapolis 2017 Presentation 2017 Version from Phoenix, Arizona available here: PDF Version - This version is static and doesn't show animation or videos.
