Web 2.0 and the Gen X / Y

The internet boom since the mid 90s is more than 10 years now and kids and youth nowadays are more techno savvy than many adults. Just for example, I was in Singapore a month back and a primary school boy was chatting to someone on msn via his mobile phone in a train. There is also an advert on TV in Australia that says by the time a child is eight years old, the child would have taken in more information than their grand parents in a lifetime (not sure if this is true though).

I work in a consultancy firm with alot of young people and for us to learn how to setup and use wikis, blogs and stuff like that is just so simple. However, at my client's project, getting some of the older folks to work on excel spreadsheet can be a nightmare. Adoption of technology is just much slower with the baby boomers - in general.

Therefore I would like to infer that if your organisation is predominantly younger people, Gen X / Y, then then likelihood of enterprise 2.0 to work is higher.
