Can libraries keep up with change?
Can you recall buying a 45? Can you recall dials on TVs? Can you recall dialling?
Books
Books• Print vs. digital (retronyms)• Fiction vs. non fiction• Articles vs. chapters• Sound, visual, moving image, games, experiences• Search vs. discovery• Organization and storage• Physical vs. device• Ownership, access and use

What is the Pew Internet Project?
Number Of Users Who Actually Enjoy Facebook Down To 4
A comprehensive and groundbreaking new report released Monday by the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project has found that only four users of Facebook derive pleasure of any kind from the popular social networking website.
According to the report, the remainder of the 950 million people registered with Facebook, despite using the site on a regular basis, take no joy in doing so, and in fact feel a profound sense of hopelessness and despair immediately upon logging in…
.... “As it turns out, the vast majority of human beings tend to become depressed when they see the past five years of their life summarized right there in front of them in a sad little timeline,” said lead researcher John Elliott.

others, but don’t necessarily love libraries as much5) Teens have different priorities in library services 6) Teens will behave differently in the world to come7) The public and teachers recognize this and want
libraries to adjust to it

Millennials’ future
• In 2020 the brains of multitasking teens and young adults are "wired" differently from those over age 35 and overall it yields helpful results. They do not suffer notable cognitive shortcomings as they multitask and cycle quickly through personal- and work-related tasks. Rather, they are learning more and they are more adept at finding answers to deep questions, in part because they can search effectively and access collective intelligence via the Internet. In sum, the changes in learning behavior and cognition among the young generally produce positive outcomes.

Millennials’ future
• In 2020, the brains of multitasking teens and young adults are "wired" differently from those over age 35 and overall it yields baleful results. They do not retain information; they spend most of their energy sharing short social messages, being entertained, and being distracted away from deep engagement with people and knowledge. They lack deep-thinking capabilities; they lack face-to-face social skills; they depend in unhealthy ways on the Internet and mobile devices to function. In sum, the changes in behavior and cognition among the young are generally negative outcomes.

Teens, Social Media and Privacy:Reputation management, third party access & exposure to advertising
About Pew Internet / Pew Research• Part of the Pew Research Center, a non-partisan “fact
tank” in Washington, DC
• Studies how people use digital technologies
• Does not promote specific technologies or make policy recommendations

• Teen Twitter use up significantly; Facebook remains dominant platform
• Teens are sharing more details about themselves on profiles, but few do so publicly
• Teens take steps to manage their reputations online by curating content they and others post to social media sites.
•Teens do not show high levels of concern over third party use of their personal information

Teens care about privacy and take technical & non-technical steps to manage it.
Teens don’t always have a good understanding about how their personal data is used:
Middle Schooler: “Anyone who isn’t friends with me cannot see anything about my profile except my name and gender. I don’t believe that [Facebook] would do anything with my info.” High Schooler: “I don’t know if Facebook gives access to others. I hope not.”
High School Boy: “I don’t think [Facebook] should give anyone access to profile information.”
High School Girl: “It depends on what kind of profile information they’d share. If it was only my age and gender, I wouldn’t mind. If they went into detail and shared personal things, I would mind!”
High school boy: “I don’t think it would be fair because it is my information and should not be shared with others, unless I decide to.”
Other teens were more knowledgeable about information sharing with third parties, and were often philosophical about the reasons why that information might be shared.
High school boy: “I think that Facebook gives apps and ads info to try and give you ads that pertain to you.”
Middle school boy: “I know that Facebook gives access to my info to other companies. I don’t like that they do it, but they have the right to so you cannot help it.”

Exposure to inappropriate ads
• 30% of teens say they’ve received online advertising that is “clearly inappropriate” for their age.
• Equally likely to encounter inappropriate ads based on age, sex, SES status or location.
• “Inappropriate” was defined by the respondent – could be younger, could be older.
Male (age 17): “Those ads are annoying. There’s no point for those ads.”
Male (age 16): “It's mostly just bands and musicians that I ‘like’ [on Facebook], but also different companies that I ‘like’, whether they're clothing or mostly skateboarding companies. I can see what they're up to, whether they're posting videos or new products... [because] a lot of times you don't hear about it as fast, because I don't feel the need to Google every company that I want to keep up with every day. So with the news feed, it's all right there, and you know exactly.”
Male (age 13): “I usually just hit allow on everything [when I get a new app]. Because I feel like it would get more features. And a lot of people allow it, so it's not like they're going to single out my stuff. I don't really feel worried about it.”
