[Stylist] Food for Thought: NFB Literature for a Younger Audience

When I said that the tone to relate to millennials would be different, I didn't mean dumb down.  I meant that with the difference in technology, how you talk to them might be different.  Our new instant venting way of communication has impact on how we reach each other.

I want to know why the general consensus, in all spheres, is that we have to write or speak differently for millennials? I don't believe that they are as simple-minded as people think. Now if Tina is thinking about kiddie lit. for the 8 and under crowd, I could see "dumbing down" the philosophy.    Barbara Hammel
