Focusing on Distracted Driving at I&E

By Matthew Betz, Vice President Business Development, Fleet at Motus, LLC
“The lessons of the past are ignored and obliterated in a contemporary antagonism known as the generation gap.” – Spiro T. Agnew
Looking at the above quote from Spiro T. Agnew, a reader would conclude that it’s the fault of following generations that the lessons of the past are “ignored”—but I’m not sure those generations are any different from the one to which I belong (Baby Boomers) or any other past generation. If you are like me, you probably remember clearly realizing that your parents, or others older than us, couldn’t possibly be any more clueless—that they had no idea what our generation was facing, that whatever they went through at our age couldn’t have any possible relevance to our lives—and, to some degree, we were correct.
After all, the definition of a generation is “A group of people living at the same time who are influenced by the same significant events during their formative years.” It’s no wonder that we don’t understand generations other than our own. Their set of significant events differs from ours. They have developed different priorities due to those experiences, and, more to the point of this article, they require different communication styles, motivations, or ramifications. So, the generation gap may not be as much about younger generations ignoring the past as it is about all generations learning to communicate better with one another.
