There is an article on the Beeb (BBC) about the "hyper-connected" generation . It has quotes from Biz Stone co-founder of Twitter and Jyri Engestrom, founder of Jaiku. It muses about microblogging and the multicasting of one's life 24/7. Is this state of connectivity better or worse for us? For productivity? Engestrom says, "In five years time being hyper connected will become a necessity to be an active participant in the social world".

We wouldn't go as far as to say that. People should and will have the level of connectivity that suits them.

What do you think?

Here is the full article.
