The document discusses Generation C, which refers to a generation defined more by their way of thinking and connection through technology rather than age gaps. While some criticize Generation C for always being on their phones and not interacting in person, the document argues they are actually more productive and informed through technologies like social media. However, it notes that Generation C takes information on the internet at face value sometimes without checking it, and this unchecked information can spread quickly online and be dangerous. The document agrees Generation C is connected and efficient but thinks their unchecked acceptance of online information is a weakness.
2. What is
generation
« C »?
Back in time, a generation was
made by the gap between each
people’s age. In France for
example, we considered that a
genuine generation was a
twenty years gap between two
people.
Let us comment the blogspot
article « meetgenerationc ».
3. WHY THESE DIFERENCES?
As said before, we thought about a twenty years gap. Now, it is more
about a way of thinking, of being connected, of interacted and, of course
being informed.
4. Overconnected and
over informed
If we ask people what are
milennial kids, the first thing that
will come to their mind is:
« Never talking to each other,
allways the eyes staring their
phone »
In some ways it is true, because
it is not a rare think to watch a
group of people gathered but not
even speaking to each other.
But are not they really speaking
finally?
5. Do you trully
believe they
are less
productive?
This is not because people are not talking to each other that is making them stay
silent. In fact, that generation is speaking even more than people could think.
Tweeting, texting, sharing, watching. The amount of information is terrific and they
are aware of their environment.
The thing which looks weird to other generations is that they are redifining the way
of acting, thinking and working. No need to gather ten people on a spacific place
6. SO DO I AGREE WITH THE ARTICLE?
Regarding creativity, curating, informed, I
do agree that generation C is, indeed,
quite connected and effeicient.
Yet, there is a point which is missed: the
unchecked information.
Personnaly, I stopped watching TV more
than ten years ago, I prefered crossing
data by myself. Now, generation C
« believes » what they see on the Internet
to be real.
Taking Twitter for example, if anyone
tweets that a person is dead, then the
planet is set on fire and everybody believe
it, which is quite dangerous.
As we know, intelligence is the strongest
weapon in history.
7. Being part of Generation C is not a matter of age, it is a reflection of
society. Connection brings a lot of happiness and a lot of sad moments.
As In Real Life, the most important remains to Control what you life, eith
it is tangible or not.
