How Teenage Behavior Predicts the Future of Technology
by Derek Thompson
Derek Thompson's article is about how teenage behavior on the applications or social networks they use predict the future of technology. Facebook, the number one used social network by people in the world was frist created only for college ivy league students. Then it spread to other colleges, countries and soon across the globe. At first, adults did not understand why their kids were so stuck to this "dumb" online social network. However, just a few years later they also joined in and became Facebookers. Thanks to the teens, the social network companies are prospering unbelievably. Now they can't be called "dumb" anymore.
Derek Thompson's article on how teenage behavior predicts our future on technology caught my attention from the eye-catching photo of teens holding their electronics in a very crowded place screaming something. The subject of techonology itself probably relates to most of the readers. Thompson's article was addressed toward adults-parents, to show that what they used to think "dumb" of their kids isn't dumb anymore. Mark Zuckerberg, the billionare who took Facebook to success was mentioned in the article as well as a popularity graph of the four most popular social network system. Statistics were well explained and the situation today of adults using SNS. I think Thomspons main idea was well delivered to the readers. It was well organized, and the graph probably helped a lot of readers understand how the social networks are used by millions of people today.
