Right, bssc.. it only takes a $100 DVD/VCR player to exceed the capability of my human brain!
Seriously, it starts out interestingly, but ends up kind of mixing the metaphors without calling attention to that (which is in the end most interesting of all). What I mean is, it starts out along nationalistic lines and then waxes on technological.. the way I see it the challenge will be to define "nations" in the future. Also, despite comparisons to China and Luxembourg, I think the US will be in the lead for content generation and consumption for a looong time, as well as leading in making web-based sites and apps actually work for people; the fact that Luxembourg is more "wired" doesn't automatically give them a productive status, just a passive one.
I can't think of any generation that wasn't "trained" based on existing, rather than future, technology.. so I can't see the point of hand-wringing over that. Just to go back 10 or 20 or 50 years and look at the predictions of what would be happening now, as described in Popular Science or Wired.. we can see that a lot of assumptions are to be taken with a grain of salt.
And, can anyone explain MySpace to me? What is the appeal over a regular blog? I have only looked at it a couple times and find it impossibly ugly, confusing, and off-putting. Seems like a lot of wasted energy, but I'm just an old curmudgeon (47). ;-)
