A lot of people are discussing those Post 80. People argue that there is no definition on Post 80, and the group size is small and should not be the topic of discussion.
I am not in a position to define and comment on. However, I like to mention Participatory culture, web 2.0 (O'Reilly, 2003) and Digital Natives (Prensky, 2001). Reveiwing the blogs of Henry Jenkins, he has tried to relate O'Reilly web2.0 with the participatory culture. Jenkins defined the Participatory culture as
"A participatory culture is a culture with relatively low barriers to artistic expression and civic engagement, strong support for creating and sharing one's creations, and some type of informal mentorship whereby what is known by the most experienced is passed along to novices. A participatory culture is also one in which members believe their contributions matter, and feel some degree of social connection with one another. Participatory culture shifts the focus of literacy from one of individual expression to community involvement."

Reveiwing some past soical issues in HK, starting from Bus Uncle, it marked out the convergence of YouTube web2.0 technology and participation by various YouTube fans. Then the WHO, Queen Piar, different Youtubes' version on debate segment in Legistative council, and those independent media (inmediahk). All match with the defintion of Participartory culture proposed by Jenkins. Post 80 might not be the point of discussion, but pariticpatory culture should be the focus in related to digital natives and web 2.0 technology. If you have faceboook account, have your own blogs and have posted video to YouTube, congratulation, you are in the participatory culture.
