Australian Demographics

http://www.mccrindle.com.au/snapshots/GenerationalWarfare.pdf

‘Though today Generation Y comprises only 14% of workforce, by 2020 this figure will be 42% and they will outnumber every other generation.’

Today we have more generations than ever interacting with each other in day-to-day life, whether it is in the workplace or at home, on public transport or over the internet.

Digital Native

‘A digital native is a person who has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3. A digital immigrant is an individual who grew up without digital technology and adopted it later. A digital native might refer to their new "camera"; a digital immigrant might refer to their new "digital camera”.’

Flickr

‘Flickr is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.’

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flickr

Digg

‘Digg is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do. ‘

RSS• RSS is a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated

content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts in a standardized format. An RSS document (which is called a "feed" or "web feed“ or "channel") contains either a summary of content from an associated web site or the full text. RSS makes it possible for people to keep up with web sites in an automated manner that can be piped into special programs or filtered displays.
