The Buzz Marketing group asked teenagers to choose their favorites from a
range of media.
Devotees of Television and the Personal Computers may wish to look away.

Surely the internet generation has left magazines in the dust ? Not so, 69
percent of them still prefer glossified dead trees to blogs.

percent of them preferred Macs over personal...

Young people learned from popular media that they should be "famous".
They are settling for infamous. The Internet offers the illusion of
feedback. TV does not.
That's where they are at.
That and the emerging ability to have what you want when you want it, as
long as the scope of what you want is narrowed to what the Internet can
facilitate. Soon enough it will IRL things like one-off clothings,
manufactured items (these exist but are not fully realized yet.) Of
course, the one-offs will be whatever the herd determines to be
acceptably unique. I wouldn't go to a Brooks Brothers for Goth costumes.
