The latest generation of workers have grown up immersed in new technologies, such as laptops, iPhones, texting, social networks and augmented reality. This 24/7 connected, early adopter to anything technology driven has created a whole new divide, in which more and more young people are growing up as Digital Natives - comfortable using technology as their primary resource to do business - while the established older generation of Baby Boomers are using technology as their secondary resource. Unbeknown to most, companies such as Kodak now derive 50% of their current revenue from technology that did not exist 5 years ago...technology invented by Gen Y.
