A majority of the respondents said they would choose higher pay and less social media freedom, over lower pay and more social media freedom - unless social media and constant connectivity are critical to their line of work.
IN a pink-themed bedroom somewhere in Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, an alarm clock rings. The occupant, Jasmeen (not her real name), 21, stretches out her arms and tries to locate her iPhone. As per her daily routine in the morning, she logs into her Facebook and Twitter accounts.
She checks for updates as she goes through her day. If she sees something interesting, she captures it on video and uploads it on her social media accounts for the benefit of friends and family. If she gets lost, she looks up online maps. If she's not sure of something, she does an online search.
And online chats are the order of the day if she wants to consult friends on how to dress for a certain function or when she has something to show and share. Jasmeen is the typical Gen-Y, for whom being online and connected all the time is as natural as breathing.
