The first part that I read about the Millenials, the
demographic that I had been born into, was that they are described as fluent
and comfortable with digital technology. We are also described to have been
shaped by technology. This is most definitely true for me because I really
cannot comprehend how life used to be like without the help of computers. I
think that I am so fluent with digital technology is that I do not even bother
to watch TV so often when I know that I get use the Internet to find what I
want to watch and even find out the scheduling of programs. The first think
that I do when I wake up in the morning is to check my phone for messages (I
even use my phone as an alarm clock). Second, I turn on my computer and walk
off to the bathroom until it has finishing booting up. Then I log into my
Tumblr account and go from there. When I am bored with that I turn on my Xbox
console and play some online multiplayer.
What I also read was about how seventy-two percent of
Millenials also use online social networking. The other twenty-eight percent is
the percentage that I fall into. I am not so much of a social butterfly and I
have had no use to Facebook or Twitter. However, I do get my social fix by
making online friends at websites such as Tumblr and Microsoft’s online multiplayer
Xbox LIVE. Other than that, I do not exist anywhere else on the internet. I am
very comfortable with using the internet and always refer to it if I need to.
To quote the book, a Yahoo! Executive mentioned, “It’s
not something separate. It’s just something they do.”
