I was thinking the other day how much different kids grew up that are just 5 or 10 years younger than me. For me, computers got big in late elementary school/jr high, dial-up internet in high school, cell phones at the end of high school, and broadband internet in college. Kids now have grown up their whole lives with cell phones and broadband internet, myspace and instant messenger. They’re always connected no matter where they go. They’re never separate from their friends at night, chatting online. And they’ve grown up using these tools, which I’m sure will make them the most tech savvy generation yet.

It will be interesting to see how different this generation will be when they are graduating college and entering the work force in a few years. They should relate socially different than our generation and be much more technologically savvy.
