The next generation - which started in 2010 is Generation Alpha. ( http://www.readersdigest.co.nz/the-next-generation )
As for dinosaur's - i find it hilarious that the T-Rex evolved into the Chicken! :) ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-448283/Proof-fearsome-T-Rex-evolved-chicken.html) On list-topic though, communication is changing, and i think it's very easy for us IT types (me being no exception) to not be able to see past "technology" - previously people could not see past "building / manufacturing", now we can't see past "communicating" and no doubt the internet of things will permeate all things life, but it is my opinion that - that will be considered as a basic foundation, it will soon (next 5-10 years) be insufficient to build technologies that "merely" promote communication (eg. SNS's, twitter, etc) - a new coming will perhaps be about wellbeing (in which technology plays a part, but so might many other things currently unthought of) as corporate greed (and trust me, startups that want a billion dollars are every bit about corporate greed as the big orgs) gives way to the age of "enlightenment" (oh no, i'm starting to sound like a hippe now :) haha :) On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 9:27 PM, Sujit Shah <sujit...@gmail.com> wrote: > Don't worry - I am an old school dinosaur.
