Generation Reinvention is having a lot of influence on the future. Born from 1946 to 1964, Baby Boomers represent 26 percent of the U.S. population while dominating most business categories with their combined wealth. But demographics do not tell the entire story. Today’s Boomer Revolution is a Longevity Revolution. Today’s Boomer Revolution is a Reinvention Revolution.

This generation of cultural and social innovators has influenced the shape and trajectory of every life stage they have experienced. In their teens, they questioned authority and insisted on a more egalitarian society through their consciousness revolutions. In their young adult years, they popularized new industries such as personal computing and natural products. In middle age, they have become dominant consumers of luxury products, automobiles, educational travel, financial services, second homes, healthcare services, wellness products, and more.

With the entire generation over age 50 by the end of 2014, Boomers are already reinventing many traditional business practices and institutions, from advent of medical tourism to later-life entrepreneurialism. They are still shaping popular culture, from blockbuster films to stadium filling rock concerts.

They demand things their own way, they desire experiences more than goods and services, and most of all they want it real.
