We look for things...

Does the new M$ ad campaign for Windows 7 ("I'm a PC and Windows 7 was my idea") not remind you of the Pacleds from STNG: "We look for things....things that make us go"

From this fluffy article:

If you want to understand your younger employees, then start playing more Mortal Kombat and Final Fantasy. That's the message from John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade, authors of the book Got Game: How the Gamer Generation Is Reshaping Business Forever (Harvard Business School Press, October 2004). The authors suggest that employees of the "gamer generation" (roughly ages 15 to 35) have a surprisingly sophisticated set of skills and abilities, and need to be managed differently than their older colleagues. They're also convinced gamers are natural leaders.

You can read this article in one of two ways:
  • Non-gamers are completely clueless about gamers
  • In 20 years corporations are going to be run like a Quake death match.
    Oh wait, isn't Silicon Valley already like that? ;D

And one last peeve...
Not only am I too young to be a member of the baby boom, too old to be a member of Gen-X, now I'm not even a member of the "Gaming Generation".
