As baby boomers cross the middle age mark they find themselves caught in the perfect storm. They face the normal generation gap between the styles, music, and culture of the younger generation. But beyond that they face global changes as the world transitions from the Industrial Age to the Digital Age. Unlike any generation before them they’re gifted with many productive years after retirement from their careers.
Gilligan Meets Google is a survival handbook that successfully navigates baby boomers through this perfect storm. Readers explore the massive technical changes that occurred during the first half of their adult lives. Next they tour through the Digital Age what it is and how we got here. And finally the book demonstrates how readers
can make the last half of their lives the most impactful.

I just finished reading Gilligan Meets Google and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would have said before reading the book that, after 33 years working for a large technology company, I was pretty technology and information savvy, but I learned quite a bit from this book.One of the biggest take-aways for me was reading about the changes from the agrarian to industrial to information economies - within that chapter I gained a new realization for why the company that I retired from made so many changes that made it "not the company I loved" anymore. Gilligan Meets Google gave me a new perspective on why those changes were necessary.
I also appreciated how Charles Sanger interwove concepts from his sailing experiences and from his faith within the book.
I am on the "launch crew" so was reading a pre-release copy of the book. I look forward to getting my Kindle version and reading it again, this time taking the time to complete the to-do's that are provided at the end of each chapter.

Gilligan Meets Google A Baby Boomer Survival Guide to the Digital Age edition by Charles Sanger Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Okay...I have to admit...I have met this man and this title is so fitting! He is absolutely delightful and so is his writing style. This little thing called "Digital Technology" has impacted our world more than most of us can even imagine and not always for the best. It seems that almost everything is virtual, including our relationships! This book provides an insightful overview of digital technology's history and how it has impacted our lives and serves to help us understand how to best live out our lives in significant and meaningful ways in this virtual world.
Gilligan Meets Google A Baby Boomer's Survival Guide to the Digital Age
Charles Sanger has written a brilliant description of how the digital age is impacting our lives, and how to make it work for us. While his stated goal is to help those in the Baby Boomer generation better understand today's modern technology, I can think of several people much younger than me, who would benefit from this book, and better understand why they need to relate to the digital world around them, and how to do so in a healthy way. This book is particularly helpful to anyone who is struggling with understanding the digital world, and how to navigate it. His comparison to Gilligan is nothing shot of brilliant... and again, a younger generation can relate now that there will soon be a remake of Gilligan's island...
I had the privilege of reading this book before the launch date. While this book was written for the baby boomer crowd, I feel that it will be useful for people of all ages. The book is interspersed with history and personal anecdotes from Charles’ life, which kept me engaged. If you know nothing about technology you will come away with enough knowledge to be more informed and at ease with technology. If you know a great deal about technology you will still find yourself learning new things.
Wow! What a great resource for anyone who's not an IT Techie. This book isn't just for Baby Boomers. There is so much information packed into this little book, I was shocked as I read it. Definitely a good one to get if you have any interest in learning what this digital stuff is all about...and even if you think you already know. I would have given 5 stars, but there were just a couple ideas that I wasn't sure I agreed with. One being that "Technology isn't amoral". I don't see where I was convinced that technology is either good or evil, though I could understand Sanger's direction of how any technology changes the world when it is presented and used, I just don't see where the argument is won that technology is either moral or amoral.
Regardless of the hesitations I had with just two ideas of Sanger's, I will definitely keep this book on my bookshelf...I suggest you do the same.
Should be red by all over 65.
for baby boomers the book tells us how life as we thought we knew it changed to the digital age.
From Charles' varied experiences, he shows us how technology has changed our world in many aspects. He helps us understand the landscape in which we now live and how baby boomers can be productive for their later years in life. Thank you, Charles, for writing this book.
