Week 8- Website 3

Website 3- The third website page I have chosen for this task is from a well known newspaper article online. The writers aim in this article is show how technology is dividing us into two groups of generations. The article is from 2006, which is more recent. The article uses examples in the case of a 20 year old student and her mother to show the clear divide in generations. This articles also echoes some of the points raised in the other two articles, that the digital natives brains differ to those of a digital immigrant. "Are digital natives charting a new course for human intelligence? And if so, is it better, faster, smarter?". Experts talk about how new generation brains, do not absorb as much information, constantly working faster and sifting more information. This article also raises the issue of blogging, where once children confided in diaries, now they blog where anyone can see. This article is from a newspaper and is written in a more user friendly way. I think that is raises some interesting points.
