#Frontline's #GenLike is about today's social media stars (YouTube, etc.), often young kids, who leverage their fame/followers #TCA14

.@rushkoff says #GenLike doesn't make a distinction between talent and fame. @frontlinepbs #TCA14

#Frontline's #GenLike came about because a teacher needed a new #MerchantsofCool b/c it's woefully out of date for their classroom #TCA14
