7 Things Baby Boomers Know That Younger Generations Don’t

Baby Boomers grew up in a very different world. A world where you waited for your favorite television show, saved money before buying something, disappeared outside for hours without GPS, repaired things instead of replacing them, and somehow survived boredom without a smartphone. Those experiences taught lessons that can be difficult to explain to people who grew up in a world of instant entertainment, instant communication and instant delivery. In this Professor Blackwood documentary, we explore 7 things Baby Boomers understand that younger generations may never have had to learn in quite the same way — from patience and independence to solitude, repair, adaptation and perhaps the biggest lesson of all: realizing that your time is worth more than your stuff. There are also a few important Baby Boomer survival skills along the way... Like holding the flashlight incorrectly. Saving mysterious screws for 30 years. And knowing that somewhere in every neighborhood there used to be a man named Bob who could fix absolutely anything. 📘 THE NEXT CHAPTER BLUEPRINT If you're thinking about what you want the next chapter of your life to look like, I created The Next Chapter Blueprint to help.
