| Description | Today's kids are growing up in a world where the internet is a given, where being connected really is "like air" and where they really don't know what it's like not to be able to access Google at a moment's notice. Video is something that's watched on any variety of screens - from mom's iPhone to dad's laptop to the 50 inch HDTV in the den. And it happens any time they want, as many times in a row as they want. Every movie or TV show comes with a website. So does every toy. And unlike their teenage cousins, they’ve never known anything different How their experience is going to affect the future of media is a topic well worth thinking about. Because it will affect everything from spatial relationships (will they be more comfortable reading on a screen than on paper?) to their ability to multitask to their innate level of comfort with virtual worlds. We’ll look at issues like class and geopolitical disparities in media consumption, what’s changing, what isn’t, how their experience makes them different from any previous generation and consider some of the ways that might impact the way our media options develop. Audience participation, in the form of anecdotes and predictions is both welcomed and encouraged |
