There seems to be a certain myth that baby boomers especially those over 50 or 60 years old can’t even find the on button of a computer. More to the myth is that they hate technology and don’t play video games or use much email.

The truth is studies have shown that more and more baby boomers are using products mostly associated with the younger generation such as iPods, computers, and even drinking red bull and other energy drinks.

So don’t think getting them a crocheted blanket is going to get you off the hook when they are really eyeing that plasma screen tv.
