Our Generation (Score 1)

Hey, I'm a High School Senior and I'm doing some thinking about the rest of my life. If you look at Generation X, they were mainly wonderers for almost a decade and they were also the first to be REALLY molded by media. Now they're pretty much in the apex of the 'information boom' and many are in the fore front of in their occupations.

My Question is:
How do you think our generation will be defined 20, 30 years from now? Will we be first of a generation of children, completely immersed in information? The ones who are brought up infront of their monitors? Or will we be the end of a large generation who first used computers as an inanimate object, oblivious of its intergration into our lives?

This year was marked with the exubrance of ipos, and then marred by their bust. My other question is:
Where do people our age go from here? The ones who still belive in the optimisim of technology, and not the notion that we must create ideas for, and only for, profit? What path or destination should we choose? Stick with the open source movement, or hang up our optimism and go for a real 9-5 desk job?
