Hello and thank you for your interest in this book called ‘Baby Boomers: The first generation of teenagers that adults considered important!’' Why do I write that? Well, after the unprecedented amount of bombing during the Second World War, and the tremendous loss of men of working age, teenagers were desperately needed to supplement the workforce for the very first time in history on such a gigantic scale. Wages were high, and most teenagers were single, so without mortgages and children, as was customary in those days. It meant that they could squander their money on clothes and entertainment, and the advertisers targeted them relentlessly. The baby boomer generation was an important source of revenue for industries that were trying to find their niche after switching production away from armaments. The Baby Boomer generation, born between 1946 and 1964, has borne witness to unprecedented technological advancements that have reshaped society and transformed daily life. From the emergence of personal computers to the proliferation of smartphones and social media, Baby Boomers have navigated significant shifts in technology with varying degrees of enthusiasm and adaptation. This book explores the dynamic relationship between Baby Boomers and technology, delving into how this generation has embraced innovation and influenced the evolution of digital landscapes. As Baby Boomers approach or enter retirement age, their interactions with technology play a crucial role in shaping their lifestyles, communication patterns, and societal contributions. Through examining their experiences with personal computers, smartphones, social media platforms, and other technological innovations, we gain insight into how Baby Boomers have adapted to the digital age and leveraged technology to enhance their lives.
