A new study by Plantronics focusing on the communication habits in the workplace show that social networking, either on Facebook or Twitter or on business networking sites like LinkedIn, are the least constructive activities for business productivity.
The study conducted over the web by online survey showed once again the stark differences between the older and younger generations, in that the Generation X are still focused on what we would now consider ‘outdated’ technologies.

Generation Y Giving Cars a Pass-
--Selling cars to young adults under 30 is proving to be a real challenge for automakers. Unlike their elders, Generation Yers own fewer cars and don’t drive much. They’re likely to see autos as a source of pollution, not as a sex or status symbol.
Motorists aged 21 to 30 now account for 14% of miles driven, down from 21% in 1995.
They’re more apt to ride mass transit to work and use car sharing services -- pioneered by Zipcar -- for longer trips. And car sharing choices are expanding, with car rental firms moving into the market, making it convenient for young folks to rent with hourly rates and easy insurance. Connect by Hertz, for example, is rolling out its car sharing services in the New York metropolitan area, with plans to eventually expand them to around 40 college campuses nationwide.

YPNation contributor Nikki Gloudeman considers the late-night war from the young demographic perspective. Here's what she has to say:
"The feud between Conan, Leno and NBC has captured the nation's attention with its high-stakes, blame game drama. But what I find most fascinating is the way it illustrates the rift between America's young and old generations.
It's well-known that Conan's subversive wit appeals more to the Gen Y crowd, while Leno's mainstream yuks are favored by the Boomers. It's fitting, then, that Coco's fanbase is revolting in the most millennial way possible: online."

Despite the current woes in the US housing market, there are still thriving sectors that are showing positive strong growth for the future.
In this piece, we take a glimpse at the inside of the US apartment industry. We examine the evolving culture of an industry that is at the threshold of a new digital and generational revolution
The Multifamily housing or apartment industry is big business, valued at over 2 trillion dollars and employing approximately 700,000 people nation wide, including but not limited to; property managers, maintenance, cleaning and leasing professionals.
The Apartment Association of Metro Denver (AAMD) annual trade show is one example of what is taking place around the country in the apartment industry today.
Industry leaders come together to educate, collaborate and plan the path of tomorrow. Thousands of attendees and hundreds of suppliers meet 1 day a year to highlight the latest and greatest trends in the apartment industry.
What we found especially interesting is the increased focus on the approximately 76 million "Eco Boomers" or "Generation Yer's" now entering a new phase of their lives by exercising their independence in living on their own. With numbers eclipsing their parent's generation, the "Baby Boomers", the industry is eager to provide and adapt to their new clientèle's wants and needs.
Due to their enormous group size and seamless integration of digital media usage, the industry is not only looking to this new generation as customers but also, as employees and future leaders. Strategic partnerships with Colleges and Universities are being sought to help establish the apartment industry as a viable and rewarding career path of tomorrow.
This new generation has grown up in a digital world and will increasingly expect to have the convenience, speed and accessibility of that in which they have grown accustom. The apartment industry as a whole is starting to recognize that to attract and maintain relationships with this generation; the use of digital social media is an absolute necessity to prosper in the 21st century.
This tech savvy group of Gen Yer's is not knocking on the front door, but rather, they are kicking it down 76 million strong and the US apartment industry is taking notice.
