Hi
and welcome to Under Blue Skies.
One
of the things that surprises me is that people often make the assumption that
if a person has grey hair they must, by definition, be “over the hill”.
I
take some exception to such stereo typing in view of the fact that whilst it is
accepted that life expectancy is edging towards greater length with each new
generation, it is quite alarming that for some people, the stereotypical image of a grey haired
person being in their dotage still applies.
This
has become more apparent in recent years where there have been many changes in
Social Media, travel and the like. Communication
in general is particularly targeted to the younger element of society.
Without
wishing to be disrespectful to the generation of people known Millennials, they
seem to believe that they are the technical experts of the “new age”. But it is probably a truism that there may
have been similar criticisms aimed at
the “Baby Boomers” of an earlier generation.
I
have witnessed many displays of “talking down” to older people using terms such
as “This is modern technology and you would not understand that” but conversely
I have also seen many older citizens actually refusing to embrace technology because
it is “confusing” or “too gimmicky”
For
clarification purposes research into the term “Millennials” revealed that “there are no precise dates for when this
cohort starts or ends; demographers and researchers typically use the early
1980s as starting birth years and the mid-1990s to early 2000s as ending birth
years”.
It has been said that “life moves so fast” in the
21st Century but personally I have fun keeping up. I blog, I vlog, I travel extensively and I have
absolutely no intention of slowing my pace of life at all!
So if you are fortunate enough to have black or
blonde hair rather than grey please take solace in the knowledge that you are
far less likely to be considered out of touch than if those grey hair follicles
are sprouting happily atop your head.
