We memorize, take time to consider things, and grow personal relationships with btothers. The world now wants us to archive and search, hurry and multitask, and to gain more connections without relationships. I think millennials will get to the point where theey want what we have to offer (around the time they start voting in their 40's), but how different will the world be then? Like several other groups I am in, to grow membership we need to get people to unplug from today and reconnect with something older. Something meaningful. The original social networks. To get people to unplug and reconnect, FMy needs to take the counterintuitive step of becoming more openly connected. Millennials and their choldren need to see that our organization is global, not local. So we don't need to re-invent the wheel, the wheels of FMy are perfectly round. We need to change the look of what is on the chassis. It needs more features, but at the heart it does not change. It still runs on the same fuel. It still moves men who are willing to put in the time for proper maintenance from West to East. But we do have to get ourselves off the State Highways and onto the internet super freeways at a speed that makes us a part of the traffic, and not the car in the slow lane letting everyone pass us by.Oren Hammerquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11262601513299030986noreply@blogger.com
