(1) Our creative urges

(2) Content-creating tools

*All generation labels used in this report, with the exception of “Younger -” and “Older -” Boomers, are the names conventionalized by Howe and Strauss’s book, Generations: Strauss, William & Howe, Neil. Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069 (Perennial, 1992). As for “Younger Boomers” and “Older Boomers”, enough research has been done to suggest that the two decades of Baby Boomers are different enough to merit being divided into distinct generational groups.

“Five thousand years ago, the marketplace was the hub of civilization, a place to which traders returned from remote lands with exotic spices, silks, monkeys, parrots, jewels – and fabulous stories.

In many ways, the Internet more resembles an ancient bazaar…”

“Local leaders need to communicate regularly with their communities. Traditional mass communication tools – printed newsletters sent by post, advertisements in a variety of media, appearances on broadcast media - are expensive and time-consuming to produce, disseminate, and arrange.

A blog, on the other hand, is comparatively inexpensive to produce; and its content is virtually free to disseminate.”

• Indemnification and limited liability: seeking to remove the indemnification clause (because agency officials cannot agree to tie their agency to unlimited liability in violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act), and to ensure that liability is limited and covered by federal law.

• Jurisdiction and choice of law: the proposed agreements must be governed by the law of the United States and by the relevant state law only in the absence of other federal law.

• FOIA: the proposed agreements recognize that we adhere to the Freedom of Information Act.

• Intellectual property: the proposed agreements recognize that our content is in the public domain.

• Advertising: providers have assured that they will eliminate or minimize advertising and that they have no intention of adding advertising that they do not currently display.

• Grandfather arrangements: previous "click through" agreements will be superseded by new agreements, making it possible to "cover" existing accounts, avoiding the need to close old accounts and rebuild content from scratch.

• Free Service: in every case so far, providers will not chargefederal account holders for the use of their services. These are not contracts; they are no-cost agreements. While fee-based “premium” services may be available from the same provider, those are separate arrangements for which the agency should proceed under traditional “procurement” processes.
