The Net Generation and You The net generation is a wired generation. This group has grown up with the
Internet as a consistent source of entertainment, education, and connection
with others. The net generation, like generations of the past, does not espouse
a monolithic view of the world. However, members of the net generation do share
relatively uniform characteristics. Don Tapscott's website, Growing Up Digital, describes in detail the characteristics
of the net generation. The address for that website is http://www.growingupdigital.com/.
Look through the website and lean about Tapscott's description of the net generation.
How well does that description characterize your own attitudes and behaviors?
What characteristics do you think the next generation will have? Is there a
way you can characterize the next generation with a label? Do you think the
next generation will embrace diversity and group interaction to the same extent
as the net generation? |
