away from the accident because I might see
a severed head" way
too bad they took my utensils away w/ my

Millennials’ future
• In 2020 the brains of multitasking teens and young adults are "wired" differently from those over age 35 and overall it yields helpful results. They do not suffer notable cognitive shortcomings as they multitask and cycle quickly through personal- and work-related tasks. Rather, they are learning more and they are more adept at finding answers to deep questions, in part because they can search effectively and access collective intelligence via the Internet. In sum, the changes in learning behavior and cognition among the young generally produce positive outcomes.

Millennials’ future
• In 2020, the brains of multitasking teens and young adults are "wired" differently from those over age 35 and overall it yields baleful results. They do not retain information; they spend most of their energy sharing short social messages, being entertained, and being distracted away from deep engagement with people and knowledge. They lack deep-thinking capabilities; they lack face-to-face social skills; they depend in unhealthy ways on the Internet and mobile devices to function. In sum, the changes in behavior and cognition among the young are generally negative outcomes.

Impact on knowledge workers and their constituents
A “fifth estate” of civic and community actors arises (including citizen “vigilantes”)

Impact on knowledge workers and their constituents
All organizations are under more scrutiny … transparency is a new marker of trust

Closing thoughts from the report on the hyperconnected
• Amber Case, cyberanthropologist, CEO of Geoloqi
“Today and in the future, it will not be as important to internalize information but to elastically be able to take multiple sources of information in, synthesize them, and make rapid decisions. Memories are becoming hyperlinks to information triggered by keywords and URLs. We are becoming ‘persistent paleontologists’ of our own external memories, as our brains are storing the keywords to get back to those memories and not the full memories themselves.”
![Page 29: Networked and Hyperconnected:The New Social (and work) Operating System](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051609/547494fbb4af9fbe0a8b585b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Tiffany Shlain, director of the film Connected
“The key will be valuing when to be present and when to unplug. The core of what makes us human is to connect deeply, so this always will be valued. Just as we lost oral tradition with the written word, we will lose something big [in this change], but we will gain a new way of thinking. As Sophocles once said, ‘Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse.’”
