Boomers - Part 4

cad57blk.jpgThe other day The Colonel started on Boomers again, and we feel that its worthwhile to let him continue expressing his thoughts.

Q- Colonel what is on your mind?

A- The future of automobility looks foggy and confusing, and most folks will lose focus.

Q- Boomers have enough experience to remained focused.

A- I'm certain they do, they might lose patience and understanding and get rebellious.

Q- Boomers get rebellious...

A- Its very easy for Boomers to get rebellious and even confrontational. Don't forget that these Boomers 40 years ago made it a point to incite change, made it a point to be heard, made it a point to be different.

Q- This sounds aggressive...

A- Not aggressive....call it assertive...call it making sure.

Q- You are basing this on what thought process.

A- Simple...as Boomers start to retire, get out of the corporate environment, they will free themselves of numerous layers of "corporate think" and seek an enhanced sense of "intellectual freedom".

Q- This sounds complicated?

A- Perhaps it is a little complex, a little leading edge....

Q- What does it have to do with cars?

A- One simple question....do boomer really want these overly complicated cars? I don't think so!

Q- You don't think so?

A- As much as they might have appreciated the initial upside of the complexity, they understand the downside of the complexity, they find the downside disturbing.

Q- Disturbing?

A- If it does not resonate...it can be disturbing...it can be annoying...the eyesight, motor skills are not as keen...what is simple for a younger individual is annoying for a Boomer. Just one example, and ther are millions of Boomers.
