This is the first of a four part series I’m producing about how different generations use technology from websites to cell phones to gaming systems.

We’re at a challenging time in our history. We face a global economic crisis; the largest generation in North American history, and the last one to work for a single organization their whole career, retiring; combined with a way of doing business that blows away traditional ROI measures.

And yet, there are amazing opportunities to learn and share like never before!

We have the capacity to innovate and build even greater products and services, by actively listening to our clients and colleagues, for whom they are intended.

Many thanks to Mrs. Anne Marie Kirby and all of the students in her Grade 6 class for allowing me the opportunity to learn from, and share your ideas, with the global community.

If you’re in Sydney Australia, be sure to get get tickets for Web-Blast ‘08 on December 5th. Tickets are limited so be sure to sign up soon!

Shortly after my last conversation with Daniel Szuc about User Experience in China, Daniel was kind enough to introduce me to Ginny Redish who presented at User Friendly 2008.

Ginny was kind enough to send me a signed copy of her book, Letting Go of the Words – Creating Web Content that Works. We’ll be talking about the ideas within her book and recent experiences and conversations with other professionals around the world on a future podcast.
