Efficiency and effectiveness NEXT: Math Example
5 th Grade Math Test: CALCULATOR WINS over fingers and pencil/paper Flash Cards, Making Change, Simple Math: FINGERS/MIND WINS over calculator **Technology usually makes us more effiecient/effective, but not always NEXT: Why technology? 2. Our customers EXPECT it, 3. Future professionals EXPECT it NEXT: Generation CHART
Boomers – LARGE group, industrious, conservative, resistant to change, slow on adopting new technology Generation X – Small group, decline in birth rate Generation Y – LARGE group, tech savvy, does not remember life without computers Stats on Computers and Gen Y
UL (40-60) - Mostly Boomers, More 40-60 year olds now than there will be for a couple decades TM – Mostly Generation X, Fewer 30-40 year old parents than there will be in the foreseeable future
Move on…
Target market – is mostly comprised of Gen Y – what do we know about gen Y? Management – There is a significant drop in the number of 40-60 year olds. As the Baby Boomers retire, there may not be enough Gen X to fill the voids, meaning that Gen Yers will move into these positions at a younger age.
Move on…
Target Market – entirely Generation Y
Baby Boomers almost all out of the picture. The void in the 40-60 year old range grows. Target Market has grown considerably in the last 10 years.
2025 – target market peaks, 40-60 cohort hits bottom.
Gen Y occupies most of the UL Management positions.
Routine Functions: Registration Forms, Surveys, Waivers, Program Evaluations, Job Applications

Google Calendar – Manage and share multiple calendars (public and private) others can subscribe to your calendar. Calendars can be embedded on websites. NEXT: Agenda View
Project Collaboration – set goals and deadlines for projects, assign tasks, share files, etc Basebamp
Other Project Collaboration Tools
Log me in, also “go to my pc”
Closely related to collaboration…many of these overlap
#1 for BUSINESS NETWORKING Big growth, LinkedIn has grown to 50 million users as “As of early this morning, LinkedIn has 50 million users worldwide and we’re growing that figure at roughly one new member per second. When LinkedIn launched in 2003, it took 477 days — almost a year and four months — to reach our first million members. This last million took only 12 days” They report in Oct 14th ,
Great for quick conversations, sharing ideas, real-time information
More of a community feel…more personal
Specific to Parks and Recreation Professionals
NRPA is working on their own social network…coming slowly and is frustrating at this point.
