After two decades of technological disruption, economic collapse,
social upheaval, political polarization and a war on terror, one
generation carries on its shoulders the responsibility to return us
to a time of social balance and economic growth. The Hooked Up
Generation was born into disruption, but is destined to lead the
world into a transcendental period of tolerance and peace. They are
hooked on the Internet, hooked together by the Internet, and
hooking up in relationships managed and defined by the Internet.
Jack Myers tells you why today s college students may prove to
be the next Great Generation and possibly the greatest generation
of the 21st century. The Hooked Up Generation will make you hopeful
about its future and yours.
Once again, Jack Myers has his fingers on the pulse on the very
latest, the impulses of the kids who will one day run the whole
show, and he has the statistics to back up his cogent insights.
This is by turns an absorbing, disturbing and ultimately
indispensable account of a hugely misunderstood demographic group
that will shape our future. Myers clearly has done his homework and
the result is this superb study.

These Internet Pioneers, born between 1991 and 1995, are not
like us. They absorbed the Internet like a native language while
the rest of us struggled to learn it. Any time now, these pioneers
will be commanding the agenda and we d better understand them.
Hooked Up is the best guide to the future that I ve yet come
across.
Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP Group
