4.) Perception about Social Media Between old and new generation.

My perception about Social Media in both old and new generation are the following:

According to the Pew Research Center, the proportion of young adults who spend a lot of time at 

home nearly doubled between 1980 and 2008. Young people spend time on internet, connected to a virtual world, but they actually are reading and responding to news constantly. Also, compared to previous generations, millennials don’t seem to enjoy purchasing things. “As all forms of media make 

their journey into a digital, research shows that people are beginning to actually 

prefer this disconnected reality to owning a physical product”. 

Some of predictions about millennials talks about their new skills: Millennias’ brains are being rewired 

to adapt to the new information-processing skills they will need to survive in this environment; The 

essential skills will be those of rapidly searching, browsing, assessing quality, and synthesizing the 

vast quantities of information; The ability to read one thing and think hard about it for hours will not be 

of no consequence, but it will be of far less consequence for most people; Reform of the education 

system could start by recognizing that distractions of all kinds are now norm. Educators should teach 

the management of multiple information streams, emphasizing the skills of filtering, analyzing, and 

synthesizing information .
