Book by Douglas Rushkoff "ScreenAgers Lessons in Chaos from Digital Kids" and a word now famous thanks to Lady Gaga Not what I expected - somehow I thought the book was going to be about how kids interact with screens and how having been bought digital what their psychology was.  Well it was a lot about kids and trying to understand them, but was about their entire lifestyle and not just digital. He also offers a controversial view that attention is not about concentration on one thing (classical old thinking) but putting things together from dragging them together from many sources at the same time. The book describes the end of linearity, how the youth are not evolving but jumping (innovating) discovering what we are capable of, but are doing with chaos, more than searching, discovering, not breaking the rules but recreating them..... they are time rich and therefore have that one precious resource Given that evolution is loosely based on survival of the fittest -

http://www.peterhinssen.com/books/the-new-normal/   Good book - quick read for anyone who is already thinking digital.   The book, describes the idea of "The New Normal", a concept that states we are now halfway to somewhere which is a digital revolution. Although we have already gone through a lot of change, what lies ahead of us involves you and I; and our data. The past 25 years were about technology getting into the hands of consumers. The next 25 years will see those who engage get some value from the trade of personal data. Digital has become the New Normal, and this will have an enormous impact on the way companies organise data, their communications with customers and the way they have to be organised internally. Peter presents digital without limits, pointing out that organisations are increasingly faced with customers and consumers who no longer tolerate limitations in terms of pricing, timing, patience, depth, privacy, convenience, intelligence   A number of new
