Only by embracing change can we mold it in a way that benefits all of us. There is a disconnect between people of different generations. They look at the same events, but they see different things. For us to move forward together, generations must find common ground. Internet time requires us to take a leap of faith into new ways of working and communicating.
Young people have no problem leaping into the unknown.
But many older people are bewildered by the shift to Internet time. In an age of sweeping transformation, young people can use new vision and new ideas to help older citizens adjust to change. At the same time, older generations can supply young people with wisdom, experience, and the ability to put change into context. This transformation is already happening in business, now that teams and virtual alliances have become the way to get things done. Society is too complex for individuals to go it alone anymore.
