From around 1946, right after World War II came to an end, through 1964, everyone that was born is considered part of the baby boomer generation. Today, the baby boomer generation will not be bullied into packing their bags and moving off to the side of the road like all of the generations before them. Why should they?

There are millions of baby boomers out and about doing all those things that boomers do. Scads of these boomers are still going to be working, playing, going to rock concerts and leading active lifestyles like no generational group before them ever did.

Most of the generations behind them expected these boomers would simply go quietly into the night, retire at a ripe age and give up the ghost. The boomer generation knew they would not give up anything yet, not without kicking and screaming about it and man, do they know how to kick and scream!

The boom generation is not over yet, not by a long shot. They will not be pushed out of the picture without a fight, and there are just too many of them to pick a fight with.

After all, the boomers reinvented the wheel of society and everything around it to suit their own needs and helped make a better world for it.

No one can deny the influence baby boomers had on music. As their parents watched in horror, these boomers discovered rock and roll, then went on to expand this genre by bringing the Beatles and the British influences into sharp focus. The boomers are directly and indirectly responsible for all of the great music that is now available.

These boomer kids were tough and tenacious to say the least. When the government decided to get involved with the Vietnam conflict, no one expected the boomers would have much to say about it. No one before the boomers ever massed together and said, "No! This is not right. You better stop this nonsense."

As a whole, the baby boomer generation told everyone "There is a better way. We may not have all of the answers, but we are more than up to the challenge." They are still saying this today.

Ok, here's a good one, sort of. How do you stop a baby boomer from crossing the line? You can't. They don't see lines, they only seek solutions. Baby boomers when faced with a problem will amass themselves and find solutions to problems as they arise.

Right now, one of the biggest hurdles that boomers face is aging. While everyone else is expecting this generation to go quietly into the night, they were a few steps ahead of the aging problem that was coming upon them. Boomers found solutions to the aging questions.

So many of the health and wellness companies that are so popular today are founded by baby boomers. Most of the medical advances in fighting the aging disease are pioneered by boomers.

Today, millions of baby boomers are more than just young at heart. They have healthy hearts, young minds and healthy bodies that defy the standard definition of growing old. Because of this, boomers are now reinventing and reshaping the whole concept of what everyone used to think of as retirement. "Retire from what?" they say.

Boomers invented networking. Although everyone else believes they did it first, it was the boomer community that grouped together to change the politics, the financial policies that effect seniors and are still doing so.

As long as their is a baby boomer generation still alive, we can all expect to feel their presence, changing the shape of this world to suit theirs. The boomer revolution isn't over yet, not by a long shot.
