TechBoomers.com Launches Community Portal For “Over 50” Geeks

With a median income among the highest in the world, and staring retirement age straight in the eyes, today’s baby boomers are a largely misunderstood crowd when it comes to their involvement with high tech gadgets.

While their grandparents lived in a largely un-wired world, if your parents or grandparents are boomers, you’re looking at a generation of people who helped start the technology revolution. And you’d better not forget it!

“I can’t vouch for Al Gore, a baby boomer himself, but I can say for sure that it was boomers who invented the Internet, computers, cable TV, space travel and a lot more of the technology that we all take for granted today,” says Sheppard Sternthal, founder and Director of TechBoomers.com, a Internet-based portal and community website for baby boomers who are into gadgetry and the like.

Sternthal, a technology-savvy boomer and proud of it, started TechBoomers.com so other like him could find an online home where they could share their knowledge, stories and interests with others of their generation who know the difference between a byte and a bite. And it seems to be catching on.

TechBoomers.com offers product reviews on the latest technology gadgets and gizmos as well as community discussion forums and the ability for registered members to create their own blogs.

However, according to Sternthal, “You don’t have to be an official geek to join.” That’s because there are some boomers who are behind the technology curve, for any number of reasons, and need a place where they can learn enough to hold an intelligent conversation with their kids. Everyone is welcome regardless of their level of knowledge.

TechBoomer’s official opening is slated for {date} but interested boomers can register and access the site now while it is still in pre-launch.

If you’re a boomer who either helped bring it all about, or stood by and watched it happen, there’s room for you at www.TechBoomers.com. Visit the site for more information.
