Tumblr Millennials’ Tech Affects Work, Shopping Young people ages 18 to 24 have specific technology usage and preferences that affect how they work, study and buy online. Accenture released data in October 2008 on millennials’ tech usage and attitudes in work and school. The company found the group expected to use their own technology and mobile devices rather than those supplied by employers or schools. More than one-half of respondents said mobile phones were their preferred means of communication, while 35% said they preferred using the Internet from home. “If their employers don’t support their preferred technologies, Millennials will acquire and use them anyway,” said Gary Curtis, managing director of Accenture Technology Consulting, in a statement. More than one-quarter of respondents also said they wrote openly about themselves and friends online, and 17% openly shared details of their lives online. Ms. “Millennials reserve the actual shopping activity in the store because it’s a social activity for them,” she said.

Vibro.NET : Microsoft&#039;s New Identity Landscape PDC has come and gone, and Microsoft’s identity landscape has changed. New products emerged, services appeared or underwent profound transformations: but the remarkable thing is that all elements, none excluded, are part of a single,company-wide, consistent strategy that aims at putting the user in control of his/her identities. Many words will be spent about those products, singularly and as a whole. All of those technologies were described in Kim’s & your truly’s session, and they all had a role in the big demo in the same session. Ah, if I’d have a coin for every time I’ve heard conjectures about Microsoft eventually coming out with an "STS product", whatever flavor people gave to the term at the moment, I’d need a much bigger piggy and I’d sprout my very own ferromagnetic-enhanced field. Here, we’ve done it! And what a product we have in our hands! We’ve gone a long way since SimpleSTS.cs, didn’t we. Here there’s another old friend. That’s it.

Children Get Product Info Online More than four out of 10 children ages 6 to 11 have visited a Website they saw or heard about in a commercial or advertisement, according to a 2008 MRI survey.

More than one-quarter of them were 6 to 7 years old, one-third were age 8 or 9 and 40.2% were 10 or 11 years old. “MRI data clearly indicate that the younger set is pretty responsive to a ‘please visit our Website’ suggestion,” said Anne Marie Kelly, senior vice president at MRI, in a statement. Children who were prompted by ads to visit Websites were 48% more likely than the average US child to go online daily. Internet usage is increasingly a given among children.

Ogilvy on Recession Dear God Have Students Graduated from E-Mail? More than six out of 10 US high school and college students surveyed “never” or “hardly ever” read marketing e-mails, according to an October 2008 survey by eROI. The majority of respondents said companies were not effectively speaking to them personally through e-mail. But e-mailing is hardly dead among students. Although texting was named as the favorite way to communicate by the largest percentage of respondents, e-mail was second, cited by 26% of students. The report’s authors said, “E-mail plays an important role in college students’ life as a personal communication device, but not as a major marketing channel. Two-thirds of students surveyed by eROI said they rarely or never took action after reading marketing e-mails. An August 2008 study conducted by Harris Interactive for Alloy Media + Marketing confirms that the vast majority of college students still use e-mail.
