More recruiters need to see this, would save time during the "interview".

The awfulness of this interview reaches its apex when Tapscott gushes about the Obama campaign's success in personalizing its message by sending emails to "Dear Don": "I viewed it as something impressive in that he was trying to get to know me as an individual." Dude, seriously...

Indigo Children. I agree. Those below me do not understand that Don is not talking about anything that divides the 1st world from the 3rd world.  It as if Evolution has jumped a step or two ahead. The world is very small and no one is untouched. Do we have ADHD and BIPOLAR or are our brains rewired through changes in how Society at large is throwing out there. Yes, these kind of people could forge PEACE!

@marpontes11 That means a better future, since collaboration basically means "peace". Hopefully this peace will not just be between individuals - it will affect entire countries.

What a load of bollox. Those poor people in China/Malaysia/Vietnam producing all the crap you yanks consume for sure work and have fun, yesyes. The true fact is "prosperity" fucked your brains up and you think you can do nothing and get everything for free. Similar to what banks did until 2007. I suggest you wait few years until China will have to bail you and then we'll see whether the young multitasking yanks will have the same sense of freedom as they do now.

@marpontes11 Utopia.

Definitely going from a competitive society to a collaborative one. It might take some time for this transition but fortunately it will happen.

I do like this video but I really wish the interviewer would let Mr Tapscott finish a thought...

this is one of the really good views on the world and generations that can make a person think, i mean really think about the possibilities and potential of modern young people, not just looking at the bad side of them because if you look that way it can make the young rebellious and resentful but naturally if you look at the POSITIVE side of them they gain confidence and purpose and its one of the things that lets me know that we will be able to contribute to history

This was a great interview, because he's clearly impressed rather than annoyed with the digital age. I hate it when older people talk down to me as if my age and technological affinity somehow make me less important
