If you really think that social media is just a fad, please watch this excellent video by Socialnomics.
The video is taken from this origional post on the Socialnomics blog, which outlines the stats quoted in the video.
Gen M is about passion, responsibility, authenticity, and challenging yesterday's way of everything. Everywhere I look, I see an explosion of Gen M businesses, NGOs, open-source communities, local initiatives, government. Who's Gen M? Obama, kind of. Larry and Sergey. The Threadless, Etsy, and Flickr guys. Ev, Biz and the Twitter crew. Tehran 2.0. The folks at Kiva, Talking Points Memo, and FindtheFarmer. Shigeru Miyamoto, Steve Jobs, Muhammad Yunus, and Jeff Sachs are like the grandpas of Gen M. There are tons where these innovators came from.
An absolute gem, this is the clearest expression I've seen yet of the shift in world view underway at the moment. In my view though the 'M' in Generation M also stands for mobile... mobile ways of working, mobile computing, mobile lifestyle.
Thanks to @leeprovoost for sharing.
