NY Mag by way of Daring Fireball: Internet privacy is the first generation gap since Rock and Roll.
(None/almost none of the shit in here should be news to any of you, but it's nice to see it explicated/explained by someone on the gap's bubble.)
Speak up, by way of Kottke: Graphic design in Idiocracy.
(Makes me want to see the film even more, now.)
Creepy. My roommate and I had a discussion at lunch today about the lack of privacy on the internet among our generation and how it tends to appall our parents'...
Still, it's interesting to me that I feel much less exposed to the whole internet culture than people 5-10 years younger than me. Though I think I'm fairly hip to YouTube/blogging/MySpace/etc., I feel relatively illiterate compared to many of my peers and my younger cousins/students I've had/etc. It's hard to imagine what it's like to be in the next generation older who is completely disassociated with the idea of internet friends, no privacy, and the like. This is why I like this article. Like Ricky suggested, it is cool seeing how someone sees us from the outside in.
