It would be presumptuous to draw too many conclusions from this survey. But let’s float few ideas:
Workplace. The corporation’s organization model has to be reconsidered in light of the Digital Native’s distrust. Personal rewards and empowerment must be redesigned. Top-down, the our-way-or-the-highway arbitrary system needs retooling. The survey showed that 3/4 of Digital Natives want to be entrepreneurs, not just for the the sake of it, but in order to be relieved from a hierarchy they don’t respect.
The group. Because it is at the core of the new social system, the group deserves a keener understanding. As for now, there is no sign of an “hostile disconnection” between the group and the rest of the society. But as long a the elite – political, corporate, media – is a disappointment to the group, a disconnect is looming. Today, no one in the ruling elite seems to understand the group’s arcane structure and rules. This, too, deserves a closer look.
The information. Trust will be difficult to restore. Again, such recovery will be achieved through a better understanding of the group. But the most likely scenario is a growing split of news consumers. The Digital Natives will be happy with superficial, quickly digestible streams of information. On the other hand, in-depth, balanced information will be the perquisite of a shrinking elite, sensitive to the notion of a trusted brand and ready to pay for it. This split is fine as long as we can be sure that a misinformed and growing share of the electorate is not becoming a threat to the very fabric of democracy.
