Tapscott's Eight Norms

In this Blog I'm going to try and explain what the 8 norms are and what they are used for, and how they apply to me.  The eight norms are the traits that the internet generation expects of Technology.  These are freedom, customization, scrutiny, integrity, collaboration, entertainment, speed, and innovation.  Freedom is being able to look at, do, post and read anything you want when you want.  Customization is being able to make sites like facebook and myspace unique to our personality.  but we still want to know that the information that we post about our selves like our phone number our address or any other personal information is safe and that's where the security norm comes in.  then we have Integrity, this is something that is really important! this generation really wants to know that the information that we are reading is true because not every thing that you read anymore is believable, we also what the information to be considerate to everyone so no slang nothing derogatory, and as polite as the person can be.  the Next norm is collaboration This is very important because every one has the freedom to have an opinion.  our 6th norm is entertainment we as a generation want to live our lives to the fullest so we want every aspect to be fun.  but they want to have everything as fast as they can so we look for speed.  and last but not least we have Innovation, This is a norm because we are always expecting things to become new and improved these are the norms and they apply to me because I am part of this generation!
