"With their immersion in social media, millennials are being called the 'Elsewhere Generation.'

A teenage boy plays a multiplayer online role-playing game with people in a different country while his brothers beg him to play basketball outside. A group of friends sits in a cafe, but instead of talking to each other, they are texting people who are miles away. A student is listening to a lecture while typing a status update on Facebook. Two joggers run side by side, but each is talking on a headset to someone elsewhere. This constant multitasking means that millennials can interact with many people in many places at once. Sometimes, though, millennials seem to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time."
