What’s beyond gen Y?
 In a crumbling world economy, it won’t matter if you have 2000 online friends if you can’t leave your room, collaborate and co-operate in real life and use your manual skills to produce, prepare and cook real food. Having a mountain of mobile or wireless capacity won’t matter if you can’t restore and repair consumables in a world stripped of its resources by global wastefulness. Having 10,000 You Tube hits for an ego-tripping mobile phone fight capture won’t matter a damn if you don’t have a range of exchangeable essential physical skills in a world where both credit and money has lost all trust. The next generation may have to be a DOING one which will find little in common with gen Y which is often more adept at imagining life/lives by proxy than living and developing physically interactive ones.
What do you envision as the next generation beyond generation Y?

Maybe we will have a group of people who work collectively on organic farms.
Maybe we will meditate together.
maybe we’ll find more advantage in tearing down our fences than in building them
turning our back gardens into community market gardens.
maybe we’ll not only meditate together but we won’t have the high stress consumerist lives we have now so we’ll brainstorm together on local community advancements.
