Life before the internet? Today's teens and young adults only know about the digitally connected world. But how is their hyperconnecting affecting them?
To find out, Pew Internet & American Life Project did some research then published its findings in the Teens and Technology 2013 report. That information was used to create the following infographic by InternetProvider.
Among the research findings... 80% of teens own a computer.78% of teens own a cellphone.37% of teens own a smartphone. So, how is hyperconnectivity affecting the younger generation? The technology experts and shareholders surveyed were divided evenly in their opinion regarding whether being hyperconnectivity was a positive or a negative.
The positives for being hyperconnected include... Being adept at finding answers to deep questions efficiently.Becoming quick-acting multitaskers.Learning more information quickly. The negatives for being hyperconnected include... Developing a need for instant gratification.Lacking deep-thinking capabilities.Lacking face-to-face social skills. To find out more about the research findings, check out the following infographic.

At the end of 2012, comScore estimated there were 52.4 million tablet owners in the U.S.; Applesold another 19.5 million iPads in the first three months of 2013 alone. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some companies, such as Roambi, Tableau, and Bloomberg are starting to offer mobile, touch-aware data visualization apps.
But dropping your desktop user interface onto a tablet doesn’t really take the best advantage of all of those touches and gestures now, does it?
................................................
here are plenty of open design questions to work out for touchable data visualization: How to make intuitive gestures that are easy to discover and remember, whether touch may have advantages in data storytelling interfaces, and how to blend gestures into more traditional UI designs, among others. And deep research questions are also waiting to be resolved. Petra Isenberg, a researcher at INRIA in France, published a paper on data visualization on interactive surfaces that stipulates some key questions: “[We] don’t fully understand how touching virtual data affects comprehension or memorability of information,” she writes. So whether you’re a practitioner or a researcher, there is a lot to work on here. Not only will tablet usage continue to grow, but other opportunities for museum installations, kiosks, and large-format presentation systems offer plenty of use-contexts to explore data visualization that takes advantage of the full interaction bandwidth afforded by these new displays and devices Delete the scoop?

As it turns out, social media and search go hand-in-hand...
From Facebook and Twitter, to Pinterest and MySpace (yes, it still exists), social media users are often on the search for… something. For marketers, understanding the searches that lead to improved engagement is critical. To that end, Azntaiji Multimedia and SocialRadius have produced a new infographic highlighting exactly what so many of us are searching for. Via Lauren Moss, Ilkka Olander

"One little feature that iOS really needs is the ability to natively “print to PDF” directly on the iPad and iPhone, a popular trick on the Mac and in the PC world that allows you to digitally print anything and, in this case, save the contents of any web document or web page as a self-contained PDF document, allowing it to be read later, printed, or used for whatever other purpose. Since this great feature isn’t around on the iPhone and iPad at the moment, we can use a nice bookmarklet trick combined with a free third party web service to be able to add a “Save as PDF” option to Safari in iOS, which allows you to ‘print’ or convert any web page to a PDF file that is then accessible to apps like iBooks. Let’s walk through the process of setting this up:" Via John Evans, WebTeachers

In life and in leadership, we are constantly dealing with duality. To learn, we need to be curious. To lead, we need to have followers. To be strong, we need to be vulnerable. To give, we need to receive. Via Don Dea, Roy Sheneman, PhD, donhornsby, juandoming
