Who are we?
We live among you, hidden in plain sight.
There’s a new breed of humanity out there, indistinguishable from others before it - unless you know what to look for. Like subtle differences in outlook. Odd skills. Curious behavior. And a strange attachment to PCs.
We have different language, but we don’t speak it.
It’s a society that prefers the hypnotic typing of keyboards and clicking of mouse to actual speech, and treats uploading, posting, etc. as its very own secret language. It understands that what were stated, unlike mere words, can be saved, and hidden away in colorful background.
We are special, but we don’t flaunt it.
It has practiced connectivity since infancy, and has been transformed into something never before seen in human history – a purely connected generation. With special skills, codes and rituals all its own.
We are different, but we are one.
Interests and agenda vary, from the simple craving for fashion, to the primal love of music and entertainment, or the sheer competitiveness of sport, all the way to the ultimate aim – full life and all its pleasures. And yet, all these creeds bleed into one key of concern… the need to connect. To be one with others.
