It was interesting reading this article because It was talking about me and my generation. According to this I am a Gamer III. My current boss is definitely from the Boomer generation and I often have difficulty in dealing with him mostly because we have very different ways of doing the same task. He's very anti-distraction,(example: no one can listen music) but exactly like the article described, I am used to working with music blaring, TV on, 5 internet browser tabs open, and if I could I would have dual monitors and have even more open at the same time.
It is true that the generation gap of the boomers and the gamers needs to be bridged but from my experience I think it is in the hands of the gamers to find that bridge. The boomers seem very set in there ways(and like the article mentioned, most are ready to retire) and being the new generation that must take over, it is largely up to us to extract the information from the previous generation and decipher it into a language that is quickly understandable by our peers.
