The magic age is people born after 1981,” said Sam Altman in a New York Times article. “That’s the cut-off for us where we see a big change in privacy settings and user acceptance.

i’ve always said that the dividing line between internet natives and their elder generations is whether or not you had sex or the internet first.

People born after 1981 have lower privacy standards

(via fred-wilson) (via evangotlib)

but what about sex ON the internet?

(via newsweek)

The comment about the dividing line being “whether you had sex or the internet first” is brilliant. I’m not about to take a poll, but I think it explains a lot. My younger brother (by 5 years) often says that he considers it “weird” that mom and dad remember a time before the internet. When I remind him that I too remember a time before the internet, he calls me old.

About

I do lots of things. I'm kind of weird that way.

First and foremost, I'm the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip.tv, where you can discover the best in original web series.

Before that, I ran a consulting company focused on entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases the awesome in online video.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest from politics, to the future of mass media, to the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here. (Latest example: "On Wikileaks")

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
