Comments on: Generation X – Caution: Read Instructions Before Use http://www.geekestateblog.com/generation-x-caution-read-instructions-before-use/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:08:21 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: johncortelione http://www.geekestateblog.com/generation-x-caution-read-instructions-before-use/comment-page-1/#comment-139974 johncortelione Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:22:30 +0000 http://www.geekestateblog.com/generation-x-caution-read-instructions-before-use/#comment-139974 Okay so baby boomers sort of get along with gen y because gen y is also about the community. Gen x is about society and it has collapsed. Instead of hiring people they like Baby Boomers should hire talent. Baby boomers have been known to discriminate in the 90's especially in the 80's. They don't like to hire talent, not, even from their own generation. Let's not push the baby boomer aside, like seriously the baby boomer should just get in their position when some one better walks in the door. I mean they were sold the company and have to forget about their selfish greedy indiference, and do for that company that they care so deeply about. Who's who among american h.s. students working a low level job. Okay so baby boomers sort of get along with gen y because gen y is also about the community.

I text people when it's appropriate, call them when I need to talk to them and email when email's are best. Technology is moving so fast, that there's no way to always keep up to speed. And as Ken and Joanne indicated, its up to you to determine what you need to know, what will help you the most and most importantly, what your clients expect you to use. Maybe we need a Part Two of this post.... I agree…people who use technology just to use it are missing the point.

I blog, text and use a VOIP phone line in my house. I use my cell when I am out and about and connect thru another VOIP system to work. I prefer google docs and texting to email, which has proved to be annoying to me over the past year. I don't like talking the time to organize and archive, I want it all to be in a consistently chronological list. Also I have accidentally deleted items too many times. One note, I am of the "early" Gen X'er. I was born in 1974. I have four siblings in the Gen Y era 3 of whom are 24 or younger. They had a MySpace page before me-but didn't text before me. They used Facebook before me, but didn't blog regularly before me. They started most of their internet knowledge before me, but now I mention applications and sites to them that they have never heard of before. So my point? Maybe the key is to find out what technology your real estate clients are using- what they don't like and do like about it- and then find the methods best suited to their needs. It is supposed to be customized service- right? Isn’t the whole technology phase just fascinating when you talk about adoption? I blog, text and use a VOIP phone line in my house.
