I believe the biggest characteristic of my generation is being connected and in the loop. Being connected is both an amazing and not so good thing. It's an incredible thing that everything is at our fingertips.
My generation has developed such a tight knit sense of community, and sharing. Everybody has to know what their friends are up to 24/7. Sharing is a huge part of my generation. We share everything, and also love to pirate things and get them for free. The idea of sharing also helps keep people up to date and in the loop if they do not have the traditional means. For example if somebody does not have a television, and wants to watch breaking bad. A friend can lend them a netflix password and they can binge on all the breaking bad they want.
On the downside there is always this sense of no privacy. Because we are always connected and it's impossible to be fully alone. You always get the feeling that you are being always observed. Plus with the NSA spying program you really don't feel alone. Disconnecting yourself becomes harder to do.
