Times change. People change. Societies change. The way we did things in the past are not always how the next generation chooses to approach life. But as technology has impacted all facets of our life, those who are connected still have advantages. But how we build community and how we network is not the same across the generations.
Instead of looking at the differences in how generations experience community, we should also look at how different age groups can learn from each other. All opportunities come from people and when we have diversity of ages in our communities we all win.
