The media has significantly impacted the Baby Boomer Generation, shaping our values, perceptions, and media consumption habits throughout our lives. We grew up when television was the primary medium for Entertainment and information. We developed a strong affinity for traditional media like television and newspapers, and many of us still prefer these outlets for news and entertainment. But now we must move on and embrace digital tools for connecting with Family and friends. Our Experts in this area of the site talk about how our Aging generation is moving forward, while still appreciating the traditional media in our lives.
We have embraced social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. We are constantly on our smartphones accessing information and entertainment. These social media platforms are influencing our opinions and beliefs more and more as we engage with content and interact with others. The media has significantly shaped our lives, influencing our information consumption, social interactions, and even our self-perception and public image.

There I was in the Boise airport, walking toward my gate, when I stopped. Completely stopped.
My flight wasn’t delayed, I hadn’t forgotten something, I wasn’t even being paged back to the TSA counter.
Nope…I stopped because sitting across the ramp was the Alaska Airlines Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge livery.

I took a picture. Sent it to friends. Posted it on soc…

Joy Johnston did not expect that she would become a full-time caregiver for her mother soon after her father died of dementia. But she persevered, uprooting her life and moving cross-country to care for her mom.

Joy’s writings also highlight the challenges involved in long-distance and rural caregiving.
Below is the second part of a conversation we had about her caregiving experiences. You can read the first half of the …

In this Superpowers for Good interview, I speak with Deepti Brambl, founder and CEO of Kaylaan, a New York-based sustainable oral care company replacing wasteful toothpaste tubes with clean, plastic-free tablets. Deepti shares how her childhood in the Himalayas shaped her understanding of reuse, why America’s throwaway convenience culture changed her perspective, and how a simple household trash audit led to a mission-driven business.
