something that I've said for a long time: The future looks a lot more like
"The Brady Bunch" than "The Jetsons."
Think about it, the Internet is just a tool to them. It's a Swiss Army Knife
kind of thing. It's your old typewriter, your stereo, your encyclopedia,
etc. But wait, I think I said this a lot better in "Back to the
Future?<http://wordfromg.blogspot.com/2009/03/back-to-future.html>
"
These kids are "digital natives" in the same sense that some of you were
"Cable TV Natives" and some of us before you were just plain old "TV
Natives," and most of us are "Print Natives." Because we are natives at *
using* a particular medium doesn't mean that most of us will be, will want
to be, or even should be natives at *producing* for it.
The article made a brief comparison to the automobile, and I think that's
fitting. Most of us are automotive natives in terms of knowing how to drive
one, some of us can do some minor repairs, but do all of us really need to
be able to *build* one from scratch? Is that what being a native means?
