Sure, teens might be embarrassed and annoyed that the Stephen Frys of the world (including their parents) are now on Facebook, but it was the teens’ site first. Robson said teens are all over social networking sites, but the only site he mentions by name is Facebook. Facebook was targeted at college kids and trickled down to teens before it trickled up to adults. No doubt Aldridge, because she is a mini-mogul, was told by older people that she just had to join Twitter.īut where and how does a regular teenager start to feel that they are a part of this new world? How does anyone? Helpful sites like Mashable are there, well SEO’d and ready to be found. The second reason teens aren’t rushing to Twitter follows the first: the site is “aimed at adults”, Robson observes, calling the UK’s most famous Twitter user, Stephen Fry, “not particularly cool” (“ Teen who doesn’t tweet reveals how he became top dog in the City,” The Evening Standard, 14 July 2009). (Her first tweet was “Hey guys, I need help with this!,” and she has since updated twice.) Teen entrepreneurs, such as the shoe-collecting blogger Jane Aldridge, who runs Sea Of Shoes, are making forays onto Twitter, but they are tentative. One reason is that they don’t yet see the value of Twitter as we adults have fashioned it: a rapid ticker of interesting links, breaking news, and networking opportunities they aren’t old enough to. As Robson put it, the teens who sign up for Twitter realize that “no one is viewing their profile, so their ‘tweets’ are pointless.” The question is: why don’t more of them put in the time, the way they did with Facebook? It may be “growing in popularity among younger people,” according to a recent study (“ Inside Twitter,” Sysomos, June 2009), but it’s largely a grown-up affair for people who have expensive smartphone plans and spend a lot of time marketing, networking, reporting and curating. The real revelation is the sensible and irreverent things Robson says about our media darling, Twitter. ( The Guardian reprinted his report here.)įor businesses, the obvious but still harrowing observation Robson made for “elderly media moguls…fret over their business models,” as Silicon Alley Insider describes the conference attendees, is that “tomorrow’s consumers are using more and more media but are unwilling to pay for it” (“ 15-Year-Old Analyst Trashes TV, Newspapers, Radio, And…Twitter,” Henry Blodget, Silicon Alley Insider, 13 July 2009). Robson’s set doesn’t care about Twitter, doesn’t want to pay for music, goes to the movies no matter what’s showing, and doesn’t really read newspapers because they “cannot be bothered to read pages and pages of text while they could watch the news summarised on the internet or on TV,” he said. The report was a fresh look at a familiar, if cynical, observation: the Internet encourages its young users to be at best, social butterflies and stingy consumers, and at worst, lazy readers and music thieves. Businesses would really like to know what he thinks, or more importantly, what he knows. Robson belongs to everyone’s favorite demographic. But the report still shouldn’t be ignored. So Robson and his friends are but a tiny sampling of social media users. The most common reactions appearing to be, “So what?” and “Is this stuff really true?” As Corante’s Suw Charman-Anderson put it, “both Morgan Stanley and the media seem to be treating it as if Robson has Spoken The One Great Truth.” (“ The plural of anecdote is not data,” Corante, 13 July 2009). Initially, the press seemed to be reporting the discovery of the Holy Grail by an unwitting child. For the financial firm founded in 1935, the report was worthy of presentation at last week’s Allen & Company Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. To whomever produces said script with all criteria met, I give you a biiig hug and thank you.A 15-year-old boy wrote a report for Morgan Stanley on the social media usage of himself and his friends. Meaning if the script is toggled on and ALT is held, LButton will loop only thrice.Ĥ) When "OFF", the LButton will still work.ġ) If something goes amiss, pressing ESC will terminate the script, autohotkey, and any processes autohotkey related. Meaning as long as the LButton is held down, it will be looping LButton.ģ) When "ON", holding Left ALT will make the script execute a three round burst. This will toggle the whole script on/off.Ģ) When "ON", the script will use the Left Mouse Button to send itself. Although I don't really care, just as long as it's a combination of easily reached with one hand/two fingers combo of keys. So, let me be blunt with what I'm asking for:ġ) A toggle key, preferably Left CTRL+Z. I know there are many a topics already existent, but the few that I can find are barely recognizable as a coherent conversation and as well didn't work or help me in the slightest.
