SMS vs. MTV

[Ron Kuzar]

Dear Colleagues,
I have been approached by a journalist on a topic I know nothing about,
and I thought this list might provide or produce some knowledge on this
topic.
His tentative thesis is that the SMS generation is more textual and more
linearly oriented than the MTV generation, which was much more visually
and aurally stimulated.
If anybody knows of any research about social implications of SMS and/or
about a comparison between technological generations, I will forward
this to the journalist.
Best wishes
Roni
