This group is currently entering retirement. Significantly, it is also the first generation to grow up with television as a new medium. Eva Luoma’s image of a 1950’s family watching television is nostalgic. The feeling, but not the historical period is echoed in the 50-something woman with laptop and clearly places her among "the hip" in this demographic.
