I'm overdue for a catchup / comment on this + other good work of yours. Really enjoyed the last elearning insights I heard + regularly grin in the general direction of yer tweets. Your point in this post about stopping the generational/digital natives nonsense resonates with me. Dr Genevieve Bell (our current thinker in residence) has been on a similar rant and is beginning to use language like: Vital Signs: people who check in to their social networks regularly as if checking their own vital signs Overhead: all this stuff is just more overhead of life and too hard She notes that she has found 80yr old women in the Vital Signs phase and 13yr old kids in the Overhead phase. I would suggest that people move thru various seasons in life and swarm to various social media tools in a rather dynamic way. Certainly not generational or age related.
