Hyper connected

Previous generations didn't have the speed of the connection we have today. With every thing going faster people can do more to stay connected. Also you can stay connected with people across the world, they don't have to be demographicaly close and it doesn't cost as much to connect with them. Also what is different from previous generations is the age that you get connected. Today younger children are getting cell phones and there are even sites where little kids can talk to each other online.
Too much information would be knowing what someone was doing 24/7 and knowing exactly where they are at.
The positive aspects of being hyper-conected are that you can reach people and find out what they are doing easier. You usually don't have to wait hours for someone to get back to you and you can talk to more people at once.

Negatives of being hyper-connected, in my opinion, are that children are starting to use the technology at too young of an age, people don't pay attention to what is happening around them, and in extreme cases it can isolate.
