This is quite an interesting Share, Haralee. Many younger people in the workforce do have a condescending attitude toward older workers and technology, which is harmful for all involved. I once worked with a manager who had an extremely difficult employee in her 30's who made fun of his tech knowledge, saying that unlike him she was "born on the web" and superior. I taught him how to set up a Facebook account and how to view his employee's comments there. She left a time-stamped trail of times that she claimed to be working from home and wasn't; she disparaged her employer online; and in general she provided data that was not in her best interest. And, by the way, her boss was in his 40's, not exactly a dinosaur.
