I was just thinking about this the other day

About how us gen-xers are slowly taking over where the baby-boomers used to be. It is going to be interesting to see the changes in the workplace and in life in general. We are already changing the workplace. Look at how many people blog and IM all day while working. I have to agree with this statement:

'Generation X grew up during changing times, and many of its members saw their parents work hard, divorce and lose jobs to downsizing, Wendover said. As a consequence, they have less loyalty to the corporate world, are more likely to switch jobs and are less receptive to working long hours. '

Full story here. Now if those Millenials and us Gen-xers could just get to the polls, we wouldn't have to deal with another GW in '08. We clearly outnumber them:


BABY BOOMERS
77 MILLION

Those born from 1946 to 1964, accounting for 29 percent of the U.S. population

GENERATION X
50 MILLION

Those born from 1965 to 1980, accounting for 22 percent of the U.S. population

MILLENNIALS
81 MILLION

Those born from 1981 to 1999, 32 percent of the population, according to the Center for Generational Studies
