About book Net Generation. Come La Generazione Digitale Sta Cambiando Il Mondo (2011)
It's a somewhat interesting look into how much life is both easier and more difficult with technology--cell phones, computers, fax machines, the internet, Google, social media, etc. It still amazes me how many people need to be reminded that there is no such thing as privacy on the internet, though. The biggest drawback is how much the author uses his college aged kids as examples throughout the book as if they represent the generation as a whole instead of multiple studies. Very interesting book if you are older than 31 to help you understand the reasons why the Net Generation is always connected and online. Full of positive opinions about the generation now 11 - 31 years old and the powerful voices they are developing to use Web 2.0 to influence companies, governments, schools and institutions to be transparent, forthright, accountable and demonstrate a concern for people and the world. Held my interest and helped me understand, as an individual just older than this group, the perspective of many in this age group. I would suggest that not all children, teens and young adults are as attached to the internet, creating information, and holding organizations accountable, but there is a large number who are. Great read!

A little verbose (Wikinomics was so much tighter) but still worth the read.

Good read for babyBoomers to get insight into how net-generation clicks.
