This is a clip of one of my favorite thinkers in the “new media” arena, Clay Shirky (www.shirky.com), recently speaking at Web 2.0 Expo in SFO. In a nutshell, he addresses that perplexing question I so often hear my peers (40’s – 50’s) ask one another – “Where do these kids find the time to fool with all this new Web 2.0 silliness??” The answer – these kids do not waste all their free time being zombies in front of the boob tube being fed whatever nonsense the TV gods would serve up (as I and my peers did at their age). No, they are multi-tasking and it almost always involves a mouse that allows them to engage in true interaction with their media of choice.
