Example Citation:
"If you want to know what kind of future we're headed for, try talking to young adults. Better still, get in touch with Robert Barnard, a 29-year-old with a strong belief in the power of youth to change organizations and communities. The latest manifestation of this is d-Code, a Toronto-based consulting firm he founded to help public- and private-sector clients get a handle on the needs and desires of 18- to 35-year-olds, that demographic slice popularly known as the Nexus Generation."
— "Street wise," The Financial Post, April 1, 1997
