What does she see? Chances are, a group, eighteen to twenty-five, amusing themselves in front of a computer screen. Their parents' generation enjoys solitary relationships with their computers, but the "iGeneration", who grew up with computers, interacts in groups with their technology. Today's youth has an ingenious new use for the computer, as the hub for group entertainment, social interaction, and group multitasking. One asset the "social computer" brings to a gathering is its helpfulness with choosing entertainment. The computer helps people make decisions and reach compromises easily and quickly. Suppose some friends decide to watch a Harry Potter marathon. What happens when, an hour into the first movie, three out of five people get bored? No need for bad tempers or arguments because any number of entertainment options are only a few mouse clicks away. Some may be happy to watch online cartoons or TV show episodes on YouTube, or everyone could just as happily enjoy an hour or two of gaming with EVE. Friends can play or watch in twos or as a group, but any choice starts conversations and friendly competitions. People reach quick decisions and compromises when they control their choices and have lots to choose from. Another reason the computer is a welcome guest is its ability, once it is happily online, to challenge and interact with others. It is made for a generation that enjoys testing itself and expects quick feedback. The internet is ready to serve individuals and groups with personality and IQ tests, trivia sites, and quizzes. Instead of gossiping, friends can see who knows more about the original cast of DeGrassi Junior High or torment each other with facts about quantum physics. Quizzes encourage interaction between people and the computer, and between the people themselves. Friends challenge themselves, compare their results, and learn more about one another as part of an evening's fun. Younger generations and computers adapt well to each other; they are constant companions. The computer offers passive entertainment or active participation, and always gets along well with its human friends. When it is time to play, the "social computer" is ready for any occasion. Perhaps humans and technology will live happily ever after. (Essay originally published in John Langan and Sharon Winstanley's Essay Writing Skills, McGraw Hill Ryerson, 2014)
