Rise of the Technology Class

These conversations are between students from Ecuador, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Spain and the US who see technology serving a higher purpose: Transparent and active. A counter-culture to their predecessors. Evidence of a new type of generative class who apply technology to art, music, culture and involvement within the community. Their activity is central to the new creativity, to our evolving simplicity and civility. These multinational students are a new socially conscious driven generation of storytellers. >>>>> The Moderator, Michael Davis is a 2009 Executive MBA graduate of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, Steinbeis University Germany.

It is very apparent how much hype there is to view news about social networking in the western press, both online and in print/tele. I don’t get it. The world revolves around how much tweeting is done in the US? I respectfully say, Please!? I adored the story of the 15 year old boy in the UK who said twitter is for old people. How wonderful that the UK press picked up a comment not press-released by some old man in a leather chair.

Here is from the article. Read it. So funny.

“Today he is the talk of Tokyo, Wall Street and the City. Fund managers, CEOs and analysts are poring over his report, How Teenagers Consume Media, which he wrote last week while on work experience at Morgan Stanley.

In it he laid out the world according to the teenager: a confusing place where the PC is a radio, the games console is a telephone, the mobile telephone is a stereo and text-message machine, the DVDs are pirate copies and no one uses Twitter.”
