The pressure is on for me to become familiar with various tools of communicating and collaborating that are driving a new revolution in the work place. I see this from my children as well. I think that given an open mind- we all have much to learn from each other.

workplace thoughts
Challenges for using new technology at our workplace that I had not given much thought it is the fact that we do no have anyone on staff under 30. The younger generation of workers seem to embrace new web-based tools more rapidly than those of us that have been around for awhile. Adapting our style of learning and doing business thus is going to take a bit of time...just like it took me a bit of time to get used to the idea of blogging!

Another challenge is the traditional paradigm that everything needs to be approved. I was exploring a blog for a project I am on. It seems like a great solution for meeting one of our goals. But as we got further into it, we found LOTS of concerns about what might be posted, who would review it (and remove anything not appropriate!), what if someone gives advice that is against regulatory requirements, etc. I understand their concerns, but it also shows that we don't have people under 30 in upper management who will ultimate either allow us to do it or not.
