Do Millennials still use email? From what I've read, only if they need to talk to parents or grandparents... Also, I've just started reading a book on this generation, and according to what I've read, this generation has made great strides, both through social responsibility and academics. One thing that stuck out when I was reading is that people have to look at the CORE of a generation, not individuals. I think we can all find kids out there who are not socially responsible, not academic, etc...but the generation as a WHOLE is much more diverse, forward thinking and community oriented. When we speak of Generation X (many of us parents now) and the Baby Boomer generation, we don't point to a few, but speak of them as a group. We should also attribute this to the current generation now, and they are a great one!! I have high expectations for them...

This information was presented today at a global media conference in Stockholm. I read a reference to the article in today's paper. Here is a passage that I found in an online article: The study also found that participants were unable to give full attention to the news because they were almost always simultaneously engaged in other activities, such as reading e-mail. That represents a shift from previous consumption models in which people sat down to watch the evening news or read the morning paper. "Our observations and analysis identified that consumers' news diets are out of balance due to the over-consumption of facts and headlines," said Robbie Blinkoff, co-founder and head anthropologist at Baltimore <http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,361344,00.html#> , Md.-based Context-Based Research Group.
