New Generation New Business

For those of you who grew up in the 70`s and 80`s you probably use computers for your business everyday. Though most of you are proficient in all facets of the modern day computer, you lack the engrained knowledge of the technology that children of the 90`s have. The new generation of children have used the internet and computer since they took their first steps and like every generation before them, when they enter the business world, they will surely change it in ways never before imagined. The "Super Kids in Digital Space", or "SKIDS" are going to dramatically change the landscape of our entire culture, including the way we use the Internet and Computers, says Leadpile, a leader in the online marketing and advertising space.

Leadpile, who predicted last summer that e-commerce sales will reach One Trillion Dollars by 2012, has coined the term "SKIDS" for the youth of the world who, they say, will be unlike any other consumer in history. Leadpile believes that this new, young, super internet and wireless consumer, will drive wireless technology, online sales, and our entire culture to levels very few people have even dreamed possible, resulting in a dramatic shift in our lives, and change the way we buy and consume goods and services forever.

"SKIDS" are the future. Out of approximately 300 Million people living in the United States, almost 50% are under the age of 17, and almost 60% are under the age of 24 years of age. These are the "SKIDS". The young people who have grown up embraced in the Digital Age. The "Super Kids in Digital Space". "SKIDS" obviously need Parental guidance to ensure that the Internet and associated Technology is fun, safe and productive. And with the proper guidance and supervision, the internet can positively impact the way in which "SKIDS" will change the digital landscape in the future.
