Hyperconnected?

“16% of people are “hyperconnected.” This is the result of a new Nortel sponsored whitepaper on connectivity and information. That 16% is expected to balloon to over 40% in the coming years. The hyperconnected have a few traits:

- the boundary between work ad personal time is virtually non - existent.
- they use many more devices, channels, and tools then “regular” people.
- hyperconnectivity among employees has the potential to increase security risks due to lost hardware, software, internet transfer of files, etc.
- they are generally early adopters of new technologies and consider themselves to be global people.
(Interestingly though, only 1/3 of hyperconnected people see themselves as early adopters)
- they are generally always on, always connected and see this as a good thing.

This probably describes you or many people that you know. Simply by the fact that you read a weblog, use RSS, and a few other technologies such as Skype are probably good clues. But as always I need to ask: what does this mean for our classrooms?” Das lesen Sie am besten selbst unter
