My husband is a University Professor and he noticed that among his year 1 students there is a proportion of Facebook (FB) fanatics but then there are those who hate FB and prefer Twitter and other platforms – revealing completely different internet behavior. Then again, youngsters in different countries use different platforms so saying that there is a single answer for the whole internet generation is too simplistic (in my humble opinion). Having said that, I cannot agree more with your view that all of these groups want different ways of working; that they do not want to be confined to the limits of a fixed workspace and so on. I wonder how well the world of commerce is prepared to this massive shift? Most companies still impose draconian internal policies about the use of social media, manual time sheets are still more important than results and executives are more than ever obsessed with control.
