Dave Morin, one of the people I used to work for at Apple, has been posting lately about the generation gap between the current crop of managers and recent college graduates. Part I is a really interesting look at the differences in how we (the younger generation) and the managers (mainly our parents generation) communicate and multi-task.

“We communicate so quickly, and so pervasively that your brain simply can’t understand it. We know that multi-tasking isn’t truly multitasking, and that our brains can only consciously process things sequentially. But our brains have learned how to switch between communication platforms so quickly and efficiently it doesn’t really matter. We know this scares you.” -Dave Morin

I don’t know about you, my dear readers, but I relish our relatively new found forms of communication. Dave has made some great points in this post and I can’t wait to read the follow ups.
