生活英语|Downager 人老心不老

Downager is Generation Y in attitude but not in age. You often hear that young people are the early adopters of technology but actually the study shows that the baby boomers spend more on technology than any other generation. They're using the technology, they're connecting, they're social networking and they're texting their kids. The term "downager" reflects the growing "act younger, live younger" attitude of the over-60s.Downager（暂译为外老里嫩族）指上了年龄但生活态度却与Y世代青年同步的大家。大家常常会听到大家说，青年是同意科技最早的人群，可是有研究发现婴儿潮一代的大家花在科技上的功夫比任何一代人都要多。他们在运用科技，通过互联网与人联系，上社交网站，而且还给他们的孩子发短信。Downager这个词反映了他们60后这一代做得年轻，活得年轻的生活态度。
