What the kids are thinking
Julie Schlosser hosted a kick-ass breakfast panel this morning about our co-called sped-up youth, in other words, how kids are living faster lives than we oldsters did as a result of their use of the Internet. We actually had some college- and high-school-age participants. They agree that their lives are different than the previous generation's. They use IM, for example, to keep up constantly with a wide group of friends in a way that the pre-IM generation couldn't. One student challenged Chris DeWolfe, CEO of MySpace, suggesting that News Corp. wants to control the message everyone hears. DeWolfe kidded that Rupert Murdoch was listening to the conversation, then insisted that News hadn't changed MySpace, a debateable point. My panel tomorrow morning, "Life on Digital Steroids," should be a continuation of this conversation.
Adding the word "kickass" to things is just Gen X silliness.
