And we are posting this to Facebook
The New York Times codified this morning what many in the world of social media have seen coming for awhile. The young, who long ago gave up on traditional media, now appear to be doing the same with the semi-traditional media of blogs.
The reasons given are poignant, and alarmingly sad when considering this is the future of America. The main culprit for the young abandoning blogs is that basically it is too hard. No one is reading their stuff and like, you know, it is tough to write stuff, so like why bother.
Wow. Wow. And wow.
While it is easy to paint this picture with a broad brush that the young are inherently lazy, it does pose a problem. If people find writing about themselves and expressing a thought-out opinion in more than 140 characters, then what does it say about their ability to think cognitively in the workplace? This is the next generation, folks.
Maybe we should post it on Facebook and find out.
