As a Boomer who writes about sex after 50 on my blog Consenting Adult, I've done some research that shows that older people are extremely active on the dating sites - from the most mainstream to the sites for people into alternative sexualities. After all, it was people our age who developed and promoted the Internet - and other new media and forms of communication - so why shouldn't we get the most out of it, including making personal connections?

Baby Boomers are internet aficionados! Sixty percent of the GNP of the United States is in the hands of private company owners. That is to say that 60% of the capital doing what it does is private capital. Twenty-eight percent is owned by Baby Boomers. While the MBA trained mind is looking through a lens created by Wall Street and the codification of business schools, the opportunities abound in the private capital market. Twelve million "Baby Boomers" will have to create a liquidity event in order to turn their hard earned assets into cash.
