Shirky: The Future of Europe Lies In Email
-
Nationality matters less than economics
- the Internet generation is going to behave more like customers than
citizens. -
The current cohort of European under 25s have several important
characteristics that make them immune to cheap nationalism -- they are
the first generation whose parents didn't live through WWII, and they
are richer, more mobile, and speak better English (the official second
language of the 21st century) than any generation in history. Add to
this that they are comfortable with the internet, that they can work
anywhere they like, and that places like easyEverything are springing up
to satisfy untapped demand for communications, and you get a generation
of rootless cosmopolitans, people who are unimpressed with arguments
that they should tolerate unemployment, or high prices, or limited
horizons, simply in order to defend national characteristics that boil
down to little more than a preference for different kinds of cheese.

-
The growth of social networks — and the Internet as a whole — stems largely from an outpouring of expression that often feels more like “talking” than writing: blog posts, comments, homemade videos and, lately, an outpouring of epigrammatic one-liners broadcast using services like Twitter and Facebook status updates

Kids, the Internet, and the End of Privacy: The Greatest Generation Gap Since Rock and Roll -- New York Magazine
-
Kids today. They have no sense of shame. They have no sense of privacy. They are show-offs, fame whores, pornographic little loons who post their diaries, their phone numbers, their stupid poetry—for God’s sake, their dirty photos!—online. They have virtual friends instead of real ones. They talk in illiterate instant messages. They are interested only in attention—and yet they have zero attention span, flitting like hummingbirds from one virtual stage to another.

Adobe - Design Center : Just the facts: How technology is changing the news
-
The problem with the trends towards aggregation, from the perspective of the news organizations, is that people are now getting their news without visiting the organization’s websites. And if people don’t visit the sites, then they aren’t viewing advertisements.
