Here is an interesting New York Times blog post about Baby Boomers and technology. Key paragraphs:
Boomers, he said, are not big fans of anonymity on the Web, especially anonymous blog comments. An idea that seemed sensible to many was the concept of a [sic] “identity passport” for using the Web.
“There was a real sense that if you always knew who it was, the Internet would be a relatively safer place,” Mr. Rogers observed. “This is a generation that is going to support the rule of law on the Internet. They, in general, are not among the ‘info-libertarians’ on the Net.”
And now you know why I hate anonymity. It's because I'm a Baby Boomer!
