Stories of young Entrepreneurs striking it big are everywhere. From USA Today, to Inc.com and Entrepreneur Magazine, the trend is noticeable. Major publications love comparing Generation Y with their predecesors. Particularly, the babyboomer generation.
Every analyst seems to have their own take on the phenomenon. But most have one thing in common; cutting-edge communication technology makes it easier for Internet-savvy youngsters to make their mark on the business world. It’s fun to think of how the Babyboomers would fare against Gen “Y” on the creativity scale if they had today’s technology. After all, sometimes history seems to repeat itself with new twists.

Great site Jose - I’ll be back.
