Explained
So I took a bit of heat for the appropriately aimless Generation Click plug. Apparently in this case what was inferred was not elucidated so I will do so here:
While having a conversation with my main man OCG, we were discussing the fact that every generation has a moniker:
The Greatest Generation
Baby Boomers
Generation X
Echo Boomers
Generation Y/Why
MTV Generation
etc
As such, we were thinking about YOU (as referenced in initial chain), the 16-24 -year olds that have much influence in this society, and specifically on this board.
"Generation Click," he suggested, indicating that "everything in the world is now available with one click - food, information, clicks, SEX - and the world is controlled by clicks, whether it be computers, iPods, iPhones, remote controls, car startups, etc."
Me, being a selfish and immature former journalist (L.A. Times, Daily Bruin) saw the brilliance in this sobriquet and wanted the reference to be cited in the public domain, shall it ever be referenced moving forward.
So that's it - no "shameless self-promotion," no bullshit, just a thought and a phrase. Feel it, live it, Lovett. Peace.
