trends from the net generation described in Grown Up Digital

Here is a link to my map of trends.

I feel I should explain how I came to make this map. I had intended on making my own map using my own ideas. But then in gathering my notes (I'm old-fashioned sometimes), I also picked up a list of norms relating to the net generation described in Grown Up Digital by Don Tapscott. Although his sampling may have been biased, his results ring true to me based on my experience teaching these young people. Anyway, once I saw this list again, I realized it contained the trends I should map. The result is what you see. Imperfect, but reasonably intelligible to my favorite 10-year-old reviewer.
As I worked on this, two thoughts occurred to me. 1. This seems to provide a resilient structure, or at least I think it may. Urban resilience is a concept I have recently come across and been thinking about lately. 2. I think this may not be a structure unique to net geners or to humans during this current and future time period. I think this may be a structure common to humans across time. The shifts would be in the meanings of the nodes, which would change based on available technologies and human abilities & understandings.
I look forward to some commentary from my fellow EdFutures explorers. Thanks!

Submitted as small piece of evidence for the real-time component of the trend map.
I resonate with collaborative relationships being at the center with innovation. As you have documented a number of other aspects support the collaborative relationship and in vigor innovation. I particularly connected with the aspect of playfulness. I reflected that I connected to it particularly because it is the aspect I am focusing on in my development.
Thanks for your comments, ithomas. The Artist's Way at Work suggests an hour "time-out" or "artist's date" to explore something you are curious about each week. That might help inject some playfulness into your work. Best wishes for all of your professional development endeavors.

Another small piece of evidence I've run across. Several references are provided in this blog that makes a case for including play in learning.
