Survey: Many gadgets on boomer holiday wish lists
Aging baby boomers crave gadgets, too.
Or so proclaims a new survey that asked more than 2,000 middle-age consumers to list the most sought-after gadgets for the holiday season; the survey is from Boston-based Eons.com, a social networking site that bills its audience as "adults lovin' life on the flip side of 50" and that was founded by Jeff Taylor of Monster.com fame.
On the holiday wish list for this demographic are such items as flat-screen televisions, iPhones, digital video recorders, digital cameras, and PDA's, the Eons.com survey found.
According to Eons, the boomer generation collectively has disposable income of $2 trillion.
"Boomers are a driving force in the technology revolution," said Taylor in a statement, adding, "It's no wonder, then, that gadgets are on the top of their holiday wish lists."
