Learning Log
Hi Catherine,
The Information, Research and Technology course bridges the transition to cyberspace especially for the baby boomer. Establishing a blog has been a positive, informative, interactive technological experience. Social networking broadens the research potential while allowing the provider to employ the feedback from the stakeholders. Incorporating Clustr map into a blog demonstrates the global perfusion potential while enjoying and confirming the extent of public interest.
Inherent in social networking is the potential for distortion of facts to reflect subjective view points. Equally important, and worth mentioning, is the opportunity to understand human nature and realize the issues that motivate and influence society.
Peer support and encouragement added a positive dimension to this course. Networking with other managerial candidates in various occupations and interests provided exposure to multiple personalities, styles and opinions.
I'd like to extend my gratitude to Catherine for assisting me to accomplish my aspirations for improved computer proficiency.In conclusion, I'm happy to say that I have improved my ability to conduct scholarly research and better utilize the multiple advantages offerred by cyberspace technology.

Natalie Jacobson to launch boomer information for their next step in life
"The Herald decides it's vital for us to know that in an interview about her retirement, Natalie Jacobson was
Looking stunning in a dark skirt suit, white blouse and heels
Which certainly provides the insight we need to put this important story in perspective. As for Nat herself:
... Jacobson said she's been working on a multimedia, baby boomer business for the past couple years which she hopes to launch later this year. "It's going to be a multimedia effort to bring boomers together who are looking for their next endeavor, just like I am," she said. ...
Oh, so she's going to compete with Charlestown's own Eons. Hopefully, Nat will assume boomers still have a little bit of their brains left, as opposed to Eons, which apparently thinks boomers did so many drugs in their youth that they need to be reminded these days to wear sunscreen:"

Boomers and the Work Force
According to an AARP Bulletin article (April 2007, Vol. 48, no.4), only about 15% of those over 65 are in the work force today. In 1948, major league baseball general manager, Bill Veeck made a daring and innovative decision to hire Satchel Paige. Satchel changed history as the first African American to pitch for the majors. Paige was recalled to the majors when he was 59 and pitched 3 shutout innings for the Kansas City Athletics against the Boston Red Socks, then he retired. We are now in the 21st century and it's time to rethink current strategies about when to work and when to retire. Flextime, ergonomically safe work environments and telecommunications would go a long way to assist older workers in remaining in the work force and would address the work shortage problem. " We need more Sarchel Paiges, and we need more Bill Veecks- people who want to work forever, and bosses creative and imaginative enough to give them that opportunity. - The Editor" Many elderly people have a financial issue requiring them to continue to work. Boomers should work until they are ready to retire.

The Baby Boomer generation is not content with volunteering in low skill positions. This group of educated, and motivated retirees prefers a challenge to their endeavors. "The type of volunteer work boomers do has a big impact on whether they stay with it over time. Retention from the first year of volunteering to the second year is highest when they're involved in professional or management activities, such as strategic planning, marketing or volunteer coordination. Nearly three-quarters of boomers performing those typically white-collar duties returned the following year, as did 71% of those who volunteered in music or other performance activities. Seven out of 10 who tutor, mentor or coach also stick with it into a second year."
