I’m just vibing on the whole interactive, 2.0 elements of our world that didn’t exist in the past, that are shaping and defining our experiences in a different way. Perhaps the difference I’m getting at is that as a part of a generation that is growing up in a participative media world, we are very conscious that we are writing our definition of what it means to be in our generation now, while we’re living it, instead of realizing in hindsight that the experiences we had would shape who we became, our careers, etc. We realize that to some extent, we can control and edit that definition now – because we’re inside of it while it’s being written about for us. We’re blogging personal diaries from early ages on for the world to read. There’s a new level of transparency and a record being kept – it raises the stakes somewhat, just mixes things up a little differently.

I’m not saying by any means we’re superior to people in other generations or anything like that at all. Just that there’s a different level of self awareness, perhaps, self-conciousness that leads to self-actualization or self-publishing or whathave you – that is at the core of what it means to be a part of Gen Y.

I agree wholeheartedly that we can and should learn from anyone in any generation – perspective is key, and we can’t really rely on only our own to get the full picture of anything.
