call me crazy…

I have to say that I think that the term “iGeneration” is pretty fitting. Not only is it a cool play on “iPod” or the “i” could stand for “internet” but it also signifies that yes, its all about ME, we’re a very self centred bunch of people.

So what is or who are iGeneration?

The newest generation following on the footsteps of the Generation Y. This Generation only knows digital and are growing up with easy access to information. Having information in the palm of your hand, like an ipod or iphone, is not only common but seen as a necessity. This Generation is responsible for the electronic boom in early 2000 years. The iGen as some have referred to it as will have the potential to be the most knowledgeable with information at their finger tips.

So if you are classed as an iGen, then you are most likely hyperconnected as well.

What does that mean?

Who are the hyperconnected? These are the people with at least four devices that link them to the internet. They are the people who would grab their laptop rather than the family pictures, if their house was on fire. These are the people who have accounts on MySpace or FaceBook and an account on Twitter too because that is more interactive. They have the latest laptop, the biggest phone and and the flashiest mp3 player. And 16 per cent of the working population are now part of this hyperconnected group.

I have to say that when I read this I was sitting here thinking, ‘yep, yep, yep’ I’m all of that.
Like I’ve said before, I have a MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal. I have my mobile, my laptop and my phone. I keep a variety of blogs, this one included and I don’t remember going by a full day with out some sort of internet access.

So the blog on news.com.au asked a simple questions at the end.

Could you give up your internet link and your email?
