A Part Of My World
I’ve always been the one to have 20+ tabs up in one Firefox window, despite being an active user of Read-It-Later. Articles, news, blogs, flickr, facebook, youtube videos, deviantArt, fashion livejournal groups, pages I stumbled – it’s almost too much to mention!
And so I decided to share some. Y’know. Maybe you like the same kinds of things as I currently do.
- The Zombie Preparedness Initiative! Just in case. ;)
- How Computer Addiction Works. I think I am.
- How Net Generation Students Work. It’s really interesting to see my own generation from another point of view.
- My generation’s got many names. “Generation Y”, ” the net generation” and not the mention “generation ego”. It’s my main topic of today, and I guess it’s true – we are really, really self-absorbed. But for some reasons, my brain tells me it’s not an all that bad thing. Some articles; “Boom! Goes the Ego“, “Gen Y’s ego trip takes a bad turn” and “The Internet Age Generation “You”: Raising the Ego?“.
“Generally, it is very rare that people accept new ideas,” Maccoby says. It takes a person with “strategic intelligence” to push a new idea successfully. Such a person must have foresight, the ability to partner with others, and the charisma to motivate an entire organization to succeed. This, Maccoby says, is “productive narcissism.” When a person with this combination of traits emerges – and arguably this will happen fairly often when you have an entire generation of young narcissists – great things can happen. ~ The New Me Generation
You want fries with that?
