A ideia central do livro é que as recentes tecnologias de comunicação, máxime o telefone celular, são fonte significativa na modelagem do comportamento da nova geração (crianças e adolescentes atuais, chamados pela autora de i-gen). Assim como a televisão ajudou a moldar a geração X, agora é a vez da internet deformar (um pouco mais) os filhos dos nascidos a partir de 1970. What a fantastic book this is! I got the idea of reading it from 2 other FANTASTIC books [The Coddling of the American Mind] and [Irreversible Damage]. This book describes the opinions, attitudes, and values of the current generation in universities and the individuals who are entering the workforce greatly influencing government, education, media etc. They are the smartphone generation and quite unique compared to other generations. The writing was excellent with lots of research base and interview content. Twenge is professor of psychology and knows her subject well. I am a Boomer so I certainly noticed the cultural differences! iGen 1995 to 2012 Millennials 1980 to 1994 Gen X 1965 to 1979 Boomers 1946 to 1964 geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:As seen in Time, USA TODAY, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, and on CBS This Morning, BBC, PBS, CNN, and NPR, iGen is crucial reading to understand how the children, teens, and young adults born in the mid-1990s and later are vastly different from their Millennial predecessors, and from any other generation. With generational divides wider than ever, parents, educators, and employers have an urgent need to understand today's rising generation of teens and young adults. Born in the mid-1990s up to the mid-2000s, iGen is the first generation to spend their entire adolescence in the age of the smartphone. With social media and texting replacing other activities, iGen spends less time with their friends in person—perhaps contributing to their unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. But technology is not the only thing that makes iGen distinct from every generation before them; they are also different in how they spend their time, how they behave, and in their attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. They socialize in completely new ways, reject once sacred social taboos, and want different things from their lives and careers. More than previous generations, they are obsessed with safety, focused on tolerance, and have no patience for inequality. With the first members of iGen just graduating from college, we all need to understand them: friends and family need to look out for them; businesses must figure out how to recruit them and sell to them; colleges and universities must know how to educate and guide them. And members of iGen also need to understand themselves as they communicate with their elders and explain their views to their older peers. Because where iGen goes, so goes our nation—and the world.

In other sections the sources are the core considerations and the analisys is very interesting and convincing.
Need to read whole thing and apply some grains of salt at some points. ( )
