Generation Y: Am I a Front Runner?
Before the recording of the GennY podcast last night, I had short discussions with Brian Koh and Daryl Tay on social media amongst other things like wondering why am I part of Generation Y when I am born in 1981. Wikipedia says so okay!
My question to them was, “Are we representative of the Generation Ys in the world or even Singapore?”
I realize that I am quite the odd one out amongst my peers in the way I engage in social media for example. My peers are now discovering micro blogging/status updates through Facebook while I am already using Plurk and Twitter for almost a year. Friends are turning to blogs for reading while I am already juggling hundreds of RSS feeds in my Google Reader. The examples are endless but my point is that people like Brian, Daryl and myself are actually a minority amongst the Gen Ys even when comparing the younger end of the Gen Y spectrum.
Brian pointed out that we are probably the front runners in this aspect but I am still not seeing the curve in the graph where I should find most of my peers start joining me in my exhibitionist ways in social media.
So am I a front runner or am I running in the wrong direction?
