Virtual Natives

PRAISE FOR VIRTUAL NATIVES

“Virtual Natives are our future, and our normal. For anyone wanting to understand this new generation, Henry and Shannon’s reporting from the frontlines of the shift from ‘digital’ to ‘virtual’ is packed with stories exploring how the lifestyles, behaviors and expectations of this brash new cohort will reshape all aspects of society.”
—HENRY COUTINHO-MASON, Author of The Future Normal and Trend-Driven Innovation

“This book is a great read for anyone looking to understand online behaviors of a new generation. Virtual Natives is an optimistic view of how the next generation can use its agency and empowerment to lead us all in a better direction. Bravo!”
—PHILIP ROSEDALE, Founder, Second Life

“A necessary book! More than just an explanation that the Virtual Natives are different, but a larger discussion of why they are different and how that is going to affect us. It is essential for parents, employers and decision makers to understand how Virtual Natives are abandoning the reality of the rules of the past and rewriting the reality of the rules for the future—and how this is going to make the world a better place.”
—DR. ANGELINA DAYTON, Executive Director, Virtual World Society
