Want to figure out if someone is a psychopath (精神变态者)? Ask them what their favourite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} highly on the psychopathy scale than people who were into Dire Straits.
Over the past few years, Spotify has been enhancing its data analytic {#blank#}2{#/blank#} in an attempt to help marketers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} consumers with adverts tailored to the mood they're in. They infer this from the sort of music you're listening to, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} with where and when you're listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.
Now, to be clear, there's nothing particularly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} about what Spotify is doing with your data. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads promoting a culture war while you're listening to the songs that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you might be in a casually racist mood. Nevertheless, I find it {#blank#}7{#/blank#}that our personal private moments with music are increasingly being turned into data points and sold to advertisers.
You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever more complicated, marketers will have the ability to target our emotions in {#blank#}8{#/blank#} exploitative ways. According to one study, titled Misery Is Not Miserly, you are more likely to spend more on a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I'm feeling a little down about all this. I'll {#blank#}10{#/blank#} off to treat myself to something expensive.

They're still kids, and although there's a lot that the experts don't yet know about them, one thing they do agree on is that what the kids use and expect from their world has changed rapidly. And it's all because of technology.
To the psychologists, sociologists, and media experts who study them, their digital devices set this new group {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, even from their Millennial (千禧年的) elders, who are quite familiar with technology. They want to be constantly connected and available in a way even their older brothers and sisters don't quite get. These differences may seem slight, but they{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the appearance of a new generation.
The {#blank#}3{#/blank#} between Millennialelders and this younger group was so evident to psychologist Larry Rosen that he has {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the birth of a new generation in a new book, Rewired: Understanding the ingeneration and the Way They Learn, out next month. Rosen says the technically {#blank#}5{#/blank#} life experience of those born since the early 1990s is so different from the Millennial elders he wrote about in his 2007 book, Me, MySpace and I: Parenting the Net Generation, that they distinguishthemselves as a new generation, which he hasgiven them the nickname of "ingeneration".
Rosen says portability is the key. They are{#blank#}6{#/blank#}from their wireless devices which allow them to text as well as talk, so they can be constantly connected—even in class, where cell phones are {#blank#}7{#/blank#} banned.
Many researchers are trying to determine whether technology somehow causes the brains of young people to be wired differently. "They should be distracted and should perform more poorly than they do," Rosen says. "But findings show teens {#blank#}8{#/blank#} distractions much better than we would predict by their age and their brain development."
Because these kids are more devoted to technology at younger ages, Rosen says, the educational system has to change {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .
"The growth on the use of technology with children is very rapid, and we run the risk of being out of step with this generation as far as how they learn and how they think. We have to give them options because they want their world {#blank#}10{#/blank#} ," Rosen says.
