Even my MOM can do a PodCast!!

OK my mom is a registered nurse, and a teacher, and a student. Busy lady.

She just recently published THREE PodCasts on Arizona State University's site (WAY TO GO MOM!). This is amazing to me.Why? Because we always hear so much about "yeah, but can my GRANDMOTHER do it?"

Well my mom is a grandmother, and YES SHE CAN DO IT and indeed she did. I think that this is indicative of how our digital world is evolving and is bleeding across generational lines. I can remember teachning my mom how to use a mouse by playing solitare. Now she is doing podcasts, uses powerpoint like a pro, and has her OWN laptop. She is just about as obsessed as I am about looking at email.

Our digital world is growing, and is getting easier and easier to use. We are seeing more blogs, social podcasts, community growth on a viral level...from an enterprise perspective, we are seeing more companies plugging into these trends. I just got done checking out ShopLocal.com, and they have community links, a shopping guru blogger...Very cool.

So for all of you out there who sit and think about whether things are easy enough for your mom, or grandmother to use, don't underestimate that generation.
