16 January 2009 Consider The Pot Stirred
Okay okay, let's talk about yesterday's post. To clarify; + I am not your stereotypical Gen Y. + Traditional media can still be effective for Gen Y. If anything, I'm an innovator and an early adopter of technology. Most teenagers don't know what a blog is, let alone write one. Most of the popular haven't heard the term RSS. And I certainly do not believe traditional media is dead to Gen Y. My point was more so about the business models, and how people keep trying to push them on a generation that won't accept them. The post was deliberately provocative and certainly a conversation starter. Like every other self obsessed Gen Y, I do like to stir the pot every so often and earn me some attention. If anything, I wanted people to take out of that post the fact that there are people like me, who do not consume traditional media at all. So if you're a marketer who wants to target me specifically, heritage media is a no go. The other point to take out is that in a generation or two's time, there's going to be a lot more people like me and the current business models are just not going to fly.
