Blog Post #5 - Have millennials forgotten how to speak?

I really like that the BBC news reporter interviewed two successful businessmen with two totally different ways of working. Anthony Shop is the co-founder of a digital consultancy firm, while Adam Shapiro is the president of a public relations firm. Mr. Shop is an advocate of technology, and just happens to be ten years younger that Mr. Shapiro. Mr. Shapiro believes in the personal touch and was just entering the workforce at a time when computers were replacing typewriters. Do their ages have anything to do with the way they choose to work?

I think that age plays a very important factor in the way people work. With today’s rapid advances in technology, the younger generation does have a tendency to rely too heavily on technology. The BBC reporter stated that some companies have reported losing deals because of this.

I agree with Mr. Shapiro and his way of doing business. There is a lot to be said for the personal touch. I think this video would be more aptly entitled “Have millennials lost the personal touch?”
