The Growth And Prominence Of The Social Media Generation

Children born from today forward will never know a world without smartphones or the internet.
When I was growing up, if you tried to explain to me what an 8 track player was, or a laser disk even, I would have probably laughed. The mere thought of it to me was hilarious; "A ridiculously large CD? Why would anyone buy that?" as I shoved my floppy disk into a desktop computer running Windows 95 (top of the line). These days the same mentality holds true. Dial up? AIM? Do you mean IM? Children born from today forward will no nothing of the pre-smartphone era, where social updates didn't occur every second and getting online meant kicking your sister off the home phone. It's astonishing how time flies, and yet what does that mean about this group of youngsters? Their mentality will be entirely different from the older generation, so how can we influence and connect with Millenials who see social media as common and even passe?

"The Internet continues to revolutionize modern life in a host of ways. Those who adapted to it as it grew and developed remember different times and ways of communication than many of today’s youth ever will. The most recent generation will grow up never knowing a time without smartphones, Netflix and Wi-Fi. While these digital natives are intimidating and hard to pin down, they will become the key to marketing for years to come. After all, without the Millennials, we wouldn’t have the all-encompassing term “social media” or the need to conduct social media marketing campaigns."

  3. This way my pal Wesley Virgin's biography begins with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the CIA and others used to get anything they want.

    These are the exact same SECRETS many celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this expression has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a car without a license and with $3 on his banking card.

    "I'm absolutely fed up with going through life check to check! When will I finally make it?"

    You've been a part of those those types of questions, ain't it so?

    Your success story is going to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
