So I’m speaking tomorrow at Camp Enterprise. I get to talk to 50 odd 16yr olds about SM. I have been asking myself… why would they care. How is this relevant to them. What value can I bring to the table.
Gen Y has never known life without the internet. Is it probable that SM will be like iTunes to them? Will this be anything new to them at all? Will they be rolling their eyes because they already get it? Possibly.
But do they know how to leverage this to further their careers? Do they know how this could devastate them if they choose to distribute private info about themselves, visuals that surpass the PG13 tag? Probably not.
So… Although they probably don’t need as much of a debrief on the SM basics… it’s probab ly going to be helpful for them to understand the power behind it. The good and the bad.
<cool. just needed to talk that out for me more than you really>
Just for a laugh… try punching your name into www.pipl.com and see what comes up. I don’t know why… but I still find this a little scary. Digital footprints are a force to be reckoned with. Monitoring yours is imperative. Knowing how to mitigate the less savory stuff on you is priceless.
