"Generation C bitch, and what?!""Generation C" is the name some marketing dudes has given to today's creative net and tech savvy masses. Technology over the last 10 years has advanced to such a stage that the internet is living up to its potential and truly making the world a smaller place.
For example, The Sugarhill Gang's 1979 classic "Rapper's delight" took a full year to reach New Zealand Shores. American movies as well used to be delayed by months before being screened overseas. Nowadays, due to P2P file sharing [read: Piracy] musicians and moviemakers alike have been forced to set worldwide release dates.
In this day and age, if you really wanted to, you can video call your mate in Azerbaijan, whilst uploading your short film [which was scored by your 16 year old beat maker cousin in Cincinnati] to be critiqued by French new wave experts in the Ivory Coast, and at the same time download a whole new continent for World of Warcraft from a Korean WoW server.
What does the C stand for? There's no real consensus on it, so lets just say it stands for C-Rock. That's right, me.
