Experts say the problem could cause a rift between management and these Gen Y workerbees. Worse, it could hamper productivity as they butt heads over how best to utilize such technologies. http://www.itworld.com/career/56352/gen-y-tech-tools-may-not-translate-real-world#comments Career Feature IM IT management social networking Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:41:46 -0400 ITworld staff 56352 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/internet/56021/16-e-mail-and-instant-messaging-boosters These 16 great downloads will help you communicate better through e-mail and instant messaging.
