COM 130 students, Friday in class we discussed your generation, "The Millenials" or "Generation Y". Here are the links from today's presentation:
What generation are you? Take this media test from Penelope Trunk, blogger for the Gen Y network, The Brazen Careerist. I would encourage all of you to visit their site, and check out the bloggers.
In class, we also watched these two segments about The Millenials from 60 Minutes. Click here for Part 1 and Part 2.
I'm sure all of you have opinions about your generation. So, here's what I'm curious to know and read about in your blogs:
•Is this you?
•Do you agree with these assumptions made about your generation?
•What do you disagree with?
•What advice would you give older generations to effectively reach out and communicate with you?
The Millenials blog post is due on Friday, September 5th. As for how long it needs to be, I say make it a full page (double-spaced) in Microsoft Word, for example. Don't forget to jazz it up with hyperlinks, video or photographs that may pertain to your post. This should also be submitted to TurnItIn by 9/5.
Also, now that your blogs are linked to this page, take time this weekend to visit your classmates and comment on their passionate posts.

I personally feel insulted by the 60 Minutes segment. It almost feels like a shot at my generation as a whole.
