Why We Need It?

Why we need super fast broadband pervasive networks? It's the children, stupid!

Our kids, the next generation workforce, are 'wired' differently (e.g. multi-taks/multi-switch easily), use technology but do not see it as such, have greater collaboration skills and are completely digitalized. Makes you really think ... And Don Tapscott provides some insights on basis of a in-depth, multi-million dollar survey, talking about the 'Net Generation'.

Don Tapscott, author of 'Wikinomics' and recently of 'Grown Up Digital' explains the gap between his and this next generation, and the consequences of not meeting the apparant challenges of bridging the gap.

"Poised to transform every social institution, the Net Generation is reshaping the form and functions of school, work, and even democracy. Simply put, the wave of youth, aged 12-30, the first truly global generation, is impacting all institutions. Particularly, employers, instructors, parents, marketers and political leaders are finding it necessary to adapt to the changing social fabric due to this generation’s unique characteristics."
