Generation X: the 'infopreneurs' of tomorrow?

Article Abstract:

Generation Xers is a terminology given to people born in the 1960s and 1970s. Compared with Baby Boomers, Generation Xers had less competition for parental attention resulting from sibling rivalry because there were fewer siblings. However, their parents, which were time-constrained and overworked, failed to give them adequate parental attention. They have also influenced pessimism in the 1970s, cynicism of the 1980s and skepticisms in the 1990s. In addition, Generation Xers have brought about a positive impact on the economy.

These developments, together with the changes in the economical and technological relationship between civilian and defense-related products, is expected to result in the creation of a new defense industrial base which will require clear-cut policies from the federal government.
