But my parents say I'm awesome!

I'll admit, our generation can get a little cocky. We've been told since day 1 we can do anything we want, be anything we want, make our dreams come true, reach for the moon we'll land among the stars, and all that other feel good stuff (Alisaleohanson has discussed this many times).

This of course is not a bad thing, but without a doubt an interesting correlation of messaging when paired with unprecedented entrepreneurial opportunity due to that thing called the internet.

The emergence of Web 2.0, and explosive success of startups with famous founders who are barely college graduates fuels the be all that you can be fire, proving to many young twenty-somethings that they are in fact just as cool and awesome as they always believed themselves to be. Or maybe they're not, or well not completely.

Wired features an interesting article this month, The Ages of Innovation, highlighting how

'the twenty-something Web prodigies are fun and all, but the veteran visionaries will save the world.'

Of course there's no doubt that our generation is taking advantage of the Web 2.o craze- with countless social networks, startups, application developments and a million other projects that are making young little geeks rich quick. However as savvy as we may be, it is the 'chronologically advanced who are especially successful at solving the problems we increasing- and desperately- need solved. In other words, the high tech future may belong to the over 30-set.'

It's a collaboration no doubt, we need the naive boldness of the young, and the experience and capital of the old folks. If a collaboration is in fact to exist the single most important decision is office dress code. That my friends is where the true generation gap exists.

We like skinny jeans and converse, they still like to wear suits... bizarre.
