Internet se está convirtiendo en un arma de doble filo para las nuevas generaciones, que son además los mayores usuarios de esta herramienta; es la denominada generación "always on". Esta es la conclusión de la quinta encuesta sobre «El futuro de internet» publicada el pasado 29 de febrero por el Pew Research Center y elaborada por Janna Quitney Anderson (Universidad de Elon) y Lee Rainie (Pew Internet & Live Project) en la que se preguntaba a los participantes sobre el hipotético escenario que contemplan en un mundo interconectado de aquí a 2020 y su impacto en la población más joven. Para este nuevo informe, el Pew Research Center realizó entrevistas en profundidad a más de 1.000 expertos de Internet y otros usuarios.
Jonathan Grudin, investigador de Microsoft, fue uno de los entrevistados. Según él, en el año 2020 las habilidades esenciales serán la rápida búsqueda, exploración, evaluación de la calidad y la síntesis de la enorme cantidad de información que existe. Por otro lado, aquellas personas que leen y analizan durante horas, pasarán a un segundo lugar.
Teens and young adults brought up from childhood with a continuous connection to each other and to information will be nimble, quick-acting multitaskers who count on the Internet as their external brain and who approach problems in a different way from their elders, according to a new survey of technology experts.
Many of the experts surveyed by Elon University’s Imagining the Internet Center and the Pew Internet Project said the effects of hyperconnectivity and the always-on lifestyles of young people will be mostly positive between now and 2020. But the experts in this survey also predicted this generation will exhibit a thirst for instant gratification and quick fixes, a loss of patience, and a lack of deep-thinking ability due to what one referred to as “fast-twitch wiring.”
The survey results are based on a non-random, opt-in, online sample of 1,021 internet experts and other internet users, recruited via email invitation, Twitter or Facebook from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project and the Imagining the Internet Center at Elon University. Since the data are based on a non-random sample, a margin of error cannot be computed, and the results are not projectable to any population other than the experts in this sample.
