As the older generation gets older, they begin to see how their parents felt when they saw too much innovation that was essentially made to make life easier. We too will be at that stage one day; and probably complaining about some new trend or technology that is going to make us step out of our "norm" and in to someone else's -- which will belong to our very own kids or grandkids. It's a cycle that will never end. And with that, we should be more accepting when that day comes when the "newbies" at a corporation have better, more efficient ways than ours. New media is not at all PR's own Grim Reaper at the front door. Instead, new media is like the key to the new lock on the front door. We just need to simply learn how the new lock works, unlock it, and see all of the potential inside. The newest way of communication is blogging, and it has countless potential, like efficiency and the ability to state the obvious. So next time something "new" comes along, don't just walk away from the door if you can't figure out how to unlock it; just sit there, take it all in, rationalize and figure it out. It's always worked for me. I completely agree with the blog response to “Do it Wrong Quickly: What Corporations Need from PR in Today’s Transforming Marketplace” by Mike Moran.
