FINAL STATEMENT: WHAT I LEARNED: baby boomer caregiver research



This project has taught me the importance of research. It's easy to think that if you needed to know about something then you could just go read about it online or in a book. But without a methodical approach for finding information, reading it, analyzing it, and recording it in a way that other people can easily understand it, you will be missing out on things.
With the different information gathering and analyzing techniques that we used (affinity diagram, visual verbal audit, personas, and mapping), I was able to get a good grasp of what the familial baby boomer subculture was like.

5 points on Individual finance


  • Personal investment – alternatives to financial advisers
  • Individual loans – Middle class people frequently rely on loans for support. Especially with current economic crisis
  • Baby boomer population effects personal finance: social security issue
  • Tax increase — personal finances rely on current economic events and upcoming elections
  • Government support large corporations rather that personal businesses
