Slashdot has posted an item[slashdot.org] about the upcoming results of a survey by Symantec and Applied Research-West describing the threat to IT from the so-called ‘Millenials’ generation–those born after 1980. The IT threat apparently comes from the willingness of this young crowd to connect almost any device or social networking software to the corporate network. There is a positive in the report: Millenials are more likely to be aware of the security implications of what they are installing or connecting.

Whew…for a second there I thought my generation was going to be banned from working! It’s not like that would make that many of us angry…just don’t take away our Internets!!! You don’t want us to get angry!
