Generation Y Will Not Be Televised

I belong to a generation that is connected, mobile, and electronic. The Earth is Round, but it is also Flat--in the palm of my hand, the world at my command. I stand at the edge of what is more like an abyss than a mere generation gap....On one side of the abyss, there are millions, if not billions, like me--adapted to and integrated with technology.

Resistance is futile.

We can share the programming of our lives with our phones, cameras, and webcams. We can instantly communicate with one another through social networking sites or via txt msgs. We are everywhere, and we don't have to leave our seats to be there.

It is often difficult to fathom that there are those who are not like us. Yet, on the other side of the abyss...there are millions, if not billions, who remain unassimilated by the Ways of Tech....The Gods must be Crazy.

Our world is on-demand and user-generated. We can be Change. But only if we don't do something foolish with the gift the abyss has given us.

You say you want a revolution?
Well, you know, we are already there.
