What's Up Dog?

What happened with the Millennial generation? The generation I was born into does not always welcome me into its loving arms. I'm not outcasted because I don't do what everyone else is doing. I'm outcasted because of the way I look at things.
Why is it that my generation has a hard time with everything? We all grew up in a time where technology was thriving yet we still had some of the same experience as those from the "good 'ol days." Yet I sit here and am told I'm too much of a traditionalist. I like to think I'm not the one who is out of the ordinary. Since when is it socially acceptable to act and treat people the way Millennials do? To answer this is; since social media.
Social media has made our generation more liberal in the way we present our selves. It has made our generation more disrespectful, to not only those older than us, but to each other. Having the technologies we do has made our generation not appreciate the little things in life, like taking a Sunday's drive to enjoy the countryside. Social media has allowed us to become less personal. We don't care for each other like we should. We don't communicate in an interpersonal manner. I'm not saying social media has ruined humanity. By all means am I above any of this, I too am a victim of the Millennial generation. I want to try to bring back some of the humanity lost. I hope that we can stop acting like ostriches and pick our heads up.

Our generation was not brought up like generations before or after us. We do not seem to collectively have it together like previous generations do. The Millennial generation is not a lost cause. We are well on our way to achieve great things. Finding the path to get there however is a tricky task for the majority of us. My wish is that within the next few years the we can collectively come together and form a better society.

Here Comes the Web... do do do do 3.0!

A few short years ago the World Wide Web was not what it is today. Chapter 26 of Share This points that out very well. We didn't YouTube things, subTweet anyone or share an article on Facebook. Oh how the times have changed. Today we use social media for everything. It's how companies advertise, it's how we stay connected with our best friends from high school, it's how our everyday lives' run.
Now that we have been through the first to stages of the web, we are starting to enter into the third. This stage allows for the communication that we expect now-a-days. Web 3.0 and the 'Internet of Things' is a book written to help explain some of the new joys via the web. The 'Things' of this new web have to deal with the small tags attached to everything technologically. So if you check in at the coffee shop or an item you bought arrives at the shipping warehouse you'll know instantly. For PR this is not good. They are no longer doing their job by advertising, so they need to incorporate this into their job titles. It is the challenge of evolving technology that makes the data seemingly hard to analyze. However these skill will ensure a stronger PR practitioner.
