Time: Generation Next

Have we ever wondered why our elder are so slow at operating and successfully using an computer or iPhone? Why do they seem to know more than us in terms of scientifical knowledge but less in technological terms? 
The gap between the elders and the youngsters is diminishing: more and more old adults are becoming technologically aware, for example 1 in 3 adults in the U.S always carries an iPod on his person. Young and old adults are now more than ever in recorded history extremely alike: they dress the same, they listen to the same music etc.
"They [millennials] are the most likely of any generation to think technology unites people rather than isolates them, that it is primarily a means of connection, not competition."
Will this rapid decrease in the differential gap between elders and millenials (as the youngsters of 2000 millennium are being called) aid the development and constant upheaval of society as we know it? It is because of the influence of millennials that we will observe the emergence of new ideas and technologies unlike anything that was previously seen during the 80's and 70's. Young people are now more educated, more diverse, more optimistic and unfortunately  less likely to have a job than previous generations due to the increase in expectations.

When asked about their goals in life, they weren't so much different than the generation before them: being a good parent, having a successful marriage. However they are much more politically progressive than their elders: they may support gay marriage, something unthinkable during the early 50's. 1 in 4 millennials shows no religious affiliation at all while the other 3 probably don't practice their religion very often.
What I believe is their most important characteristic is their ability of hopefulness. That is the greatest divide between the two ages. The millennials show an uncanny ability for diversification and for working as a team unlike their earlier generations which focused more on personal success and gain rather than on the advantage for the society as a whole. This is the most important factor for the future, if we want to survive any coming disasters or bridge any gaps in our way. We need youth.

We offer quality products designed for results oriented and effective workout.

Lastly, I started "Workout or Walkout" after I said similar words to someone in a gym one day when I got tired of people spending more time on their phones than they actually spend working out in the gym. I love and encourage phones in the gym for many reasons but if I need to use an equipment and it's not available simply because you choose to use it as a couch to text or chat, then we have a tiny bit of a problem my friend. Workout, Eat healthy; it's a lifetime thing! #workoutorwalkout #stayhealthymyfriends
