What a market to play in, Boomers turning 60…for the next 20 years

February 6, 2006 Lynda Boomers RetYrement, Future Trends, Generations No Comments

Retirement VillageI had a chat the other day to a company involved in the sale of new and resale units in Retirment Villages. They have about 150 of these Villages on their books in South Africa. He says the waiting list is long and the average time for the resale of a unit is ONE hour. Who would not choose to want to be involved in a market with this kind of return? Is the market ready for the retiring Baby Boomers?

Like in every other area of life I believe this generation will change the way we GROW older and buisness needs to watch for changing trends.

Africa’s Gift to Silicon Valley: How to Track a Crisis

A report under this title appeared in the New York Times on 12 March 2010. It’s a great example of a few things, but especially of the power of social media, and the fact that innovation (and competition) can come from anywhere these days.

Twitter 10 Billion – quality not quantity

In the last few hours the 10 billionth tweet was tweeted on Twitter. As one would imagine there was all kinds of hype and excitement, as Tweeps with the necesary skills attempted to predict the time it would happen, and I imagine even be ‘the one’?
My last tweet was 9999989724. Wild. Will be at 10 [...]
