Yes. They also are unlikely to have experienced some of the pitfalls that come with blindly trusting people.
Our society is shifting, by degrees, to a state where privacy doesn't exist. Each change acclimatizes us just a little bit more to the post-privacy world. Some have been talking about the RealID controversy as an historic event. That could be overstating it, but they may be right: what happens this week could very well decide the future of privacy in online gaming, which in the last ten years has become very suddenly an iconic aspect of American society.
Interestingly, I've been reading that teenagers are not embracing Twitter. They may not be quite as eager as we think to live under continual scrutiny. We'll see.
And... oh yes, any endeavor I launch will NOT be a fucking Barbie doll makeup dress-up game.
