GENERATION LIKE
Thanks to social media, today's teens
are able to directly interact with
their culture — artists, celebrities,
movies, brands, and even one another —
in ways never before possible. But is
that real empowerment? Or do marketers
still hold the upper hand?
In Generation Like, author and
FRONTLINE correspondent Douglas
Rushkoff
(The Merchants of Cool, The
Persuaders) explores how the perennial
teen quest for identity and connection
has migrated to social media — and
exposes the game of cat-and-mouse that
corporations are playing with these
young consumers.
Do kids think they're being used? Do
they care? Or does the perceived
chance to be the next big star make it
all worth it? FRONTLINE (60 min.)
Bring your lunch; the Library provides
coffee and cookies.
