I was reading the bios out loud, enjoying a warm mother-daughter moment, when my daughter's face fell.
They're both body art, and their respective consumers are changing the way we live, work, eat, play and spend.
One try in life to get it right, I thought. I was wrong. There are more chances.
Every generation needs its collective voice to make sense of the inevitable phases in life, especially when it reaches middle-age amid the confusion we feel as we stand at that edge between the inner child still clinging to the past and the adult warily facing the future.
Sadly, even children as young as kindergarten are targeted by identity thieves now.
Employees spend a third of their lives at work but mentally escape regularly because it's compelling and easy. Distractions are a click or tap away. But, as a category, who wastes the most time at work: Millennials, Gen X'ers, or Baby Boomers?
Verbal conversations remain a part of our lives, even if they're a smaller part than they used to be. I am sad for my sons that they will never have this kind of interaction. But I know they won't miss something they never had. Only I will.
Ironically, the digital revolution may have come to the rescue of Generation X. After a half-century of playing a supporting role to their self-absorbed parents, the 'lost' generation may be remembered in digital memory long, even millennia, after the Baby Boomers are forgotten.
It's well known now that baby boomers hold 70 percent of the U.S. wealth and will be inheriting trillions in the next 20 years. However, who are the other marketing groups that make up our 312 million Americans?
Frankly, I'm getting tired of reaching around in the car to grab a drink/toy/video game from one of my children, only to find I've pulled out my back/shoulder/neck.

Just because we don't have the exact same mindset as (the majority) of your generation doesn't mean that we won't get things done. It means we seek for a different way.
My prediction is that not only will Baby Boomers determine the election, but they will also determine the amount of success and change in their lives because they know how to find the right resources.
Don't count the boomers out yet. Key strategies and trends are emerging that suggest the new elderly, and the nation, can adjust to their aging.
If Gen X can set aside our cynicism, embrace our strength for commonsense solutions and turn that into a political voice for a practical and equitable answer to the funding gap, this is one "disaster" we have the power to prevent.
The generation known for bringing the world grunge, 'zines and slackers is, apparently, slacking. Those born between 1966 and 1975, belonging to Ge...
While I think it's true that "the rich are getting richer," it's important to note a newer, more quantifiable trend: the rich are getting younger.
If Boomers want to continue the proud national tradition of handing off a better America to each generation, then it's time to rethink what it means to age.
Things are not looking so good for Gen-X. At least that's the impression you get from watching this parody of Fun.'s "We Are Young" entitled, "We'r...
It would be easy to call Sandberg a reformer and Steinem the revolutionary, as I might have done years ago. But I question that now.
The quintessential dream of waking up on your sixteenth birthday to find a new car adorned with a big red bow parked in the driveway is now a thing of...
