The Children of Cyberspace: Old Fogies By Their 20s

Great article in the New York Times about a new generation gap created by even newer technologies: The Children of Cyberspace: Old Fogies by Their 20s. Greatest insight: "My friend’s 3-year-old, for example, has become so accustomed to her father’s multitouch iPhone screen that she approaches laptops by swiping her fingers across the screen, expecting a reaction." Imagine how low-tech school is going to seem to her!
