I like the term Net Gen. Has a nice ring to it. I am a Digital Immigrant but share several of the same behaviors as the Net Gen. I like to stay connected constantly and am always wanting to learn more via the internet. I like the "immediate" responses that are attainable by being "conected". Experientially, I can go both ways. I like to be told what to do in addition to "doing". Socially, I have lag and that could very well be due to a person's personality. I sort of prefer to not be too socially connected. I cancelled my face book account for a few different reasons that I won't go into here but keeping up with all my cousins was getting tiring.
I wonder why the net gen prefers to work in teams. I guess because they are so social and "connected". According to the article they crave interactivity and a rapid pace.
The article states that the net gen prefers working on things that matter. Hmmmm, not so sure about this one. Seems more nonsense is around these days (especially on you tube) than I have ever seen. Not that this is not okay, just an observation.
It is very interesting to read the statistics provided in this article. Do these stats change as fast as technology does though? Are these already outdated??
