Cameron Reilly has created a new term, and I love it.
In the middle of reading a newspaper or magazine I often catch myself looking to the top right-hand corner of the page in search of the current time. That’s why what Cameron says strikes such a cord.
We were talking about newspapers and I mentioned how frustrated I get when I can’t right-click on a word or term I am not familiar with, to view “Properties” or to Google it in real-time. I get the same frustration when in many situations. For example, while travelling through Europe last August, I would see a deserted old ruin somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Umbria and I would want to know all about it… who built it, when was it deserted, why no-one restored it, etc. My natural urge was to right-click on it, google it, SOMETHING, to get the information I needed to satisfy my curiosity RIGHT AWAY.
Does this feeling sound familiar to you? Maybe you are also part of the Right-Click Generation.
Keep up the lateral thought Cameron.
