My demographic is the Millennials. From reading out of the book I would say I identify with a lot of what it said. I am definitely very comfortable with technology and find that it comes very easy which is good because I am an audio student. However I would say that I don’t think I frequent the web as much as it implied in the reading. I am on social media also but I don’t find my self not being able to live without it or constantly having to check it like most millennials do. But I do use instant messaging everyday which I am sure half the people in America do by this point it’s 2016 we don’t live under rocks anymore. I agree with the fact that we are bombarded by ads and I do often seek my own research to make informed decisions about those ads before clicking on them. I really don’t agree with the last part of the passage at all to me it seemed as if it was trying to say our generation is easily influenced by technology and almost that technology controls us. I feel that doesn't apply to me at all I form my own opinions. Although smart by the obama campaign to use the strategy they did to attract millennials I definitely don’t identify with the supporters because I made my own informed decisions on the matter. Rather than buy into the website they created for him and the brand they built of uneducated millennials. I think the assessment of millennials is fair for the most part in my opinion however I think the book also suggests a little to much that we are controlled by technology and that doesn’t apply to me at all. I am my own free thinker that uses the technology to make my own informed decisions.
