#Mikael-Zolyan spoke to #CivilNet about his #generation, which was born in the #Soviet era but has grown up with #independence; the difficulties and challenges they face and what are the factors that will keep them engaged with #Armenia.

It was an actively #creative #society. Then the #Internet happened and everything got put on hold for a #generation.
http://blogs.hbr.org/fox/2012/04/low-innovation-internet-era.html I don’t agree. I believe those who are not interested and don’t become expert in something, they just don’t, inspite of #internet existence. If they wouldn’t have internet, they would go to pub, or watch tv. Does not matter. And those who are interested in something will find Internet very useful as a universal knowledge database, as a communication means, etc. And it will influence their development because in pre-internet era there were no such resource - I cannot imagine how did we live without it. Of course I remember, I mean - it was not really cool. But now I’ve read many books just because search brought me those. I wouldn’t know authors, or it would be hard to find that book in local markets, but now I just have read them. So I believe Internet makes society more developed, and nice people have more opportunities.
