Well, they had to know that what they did was wrong. I guess that’s why they did it. I don’t think they said “lets do this perfectly normal everyday thing for our generation”. More like “This has to hurt, let’s freak him out…”
@priit – ok good point – but then they lacked the “rational” gene that says “maybe we shouldn’t post this – it’s just not cool”
It is very crazy to me to watch kids playing with computers and Social Media. They have to have some genetic advantage… they are just too good!
@Lance – Sounds like a Darwin theory in the making!!
if you remember your physiology, kids’ brains are still maturing even in college, so their “impulse control setting” is not quite where it needs to be (true for some more than others, of course).
The difference I see is that today, it is a lot easier to do large(er) scale damage when your impulse control gets the best of you. In the past, maybe someone could have snapped a poor quality Polaroid and showed it to some friends. Now they can stream it on the internet…so the same stupid act can cause much more damage than in the old days.
@KarenK – good point I think the potential is in everyone’s hands which is what makes it so powerful but also so possible to do major damage!
Yes kids are different as they have the advantage of growing up with technology. My 20 month old daughter finds it diffficuly to understand a keyboard because she is use to a touch screen. For adults with a smart phone or tablet, wonder at how unituitive a Kimble & its qwerty key board is. I’m a child of the 70’s and I taught my parents to programmme a video recorder. My daughter will teach me that it is ok to do business/be friends with people that I have never met before. I hope that I won’t be a parent of the 70’s and recognise the changes and how to benefit from them.
@Wyndham – interesting perspective on growing up in a touch screen world – thanks for sharing!
