Serve the Young

The guys at Cutting Through talk about this article from the Guardian in their blog post Habits of the Young:

The implication of all this that isn’t mentioned in the article is that within the space of the next 10 years, this generation of the ultrawired are going to be joining the workforce. Their expectations of what technology can deliver will be radically different to us old farts - so while we’re going whoopies over the lastest Outlook plugin, they are going to be conducting business over blogs and IM. Where does that leave the corporate IT function?

Or the legal industry?  What resources has your firm devoted to learning how to better serve the “ultrawired” and technologically savvy?  These young people are going to be running their own companies (or their parents’) within the next decade.  This is something I want to talk about at BlawgThink.
