Myth 3: Kids are Naturally Tech-Literate • Adults can feel threatened by new technologies • Tendency is to turn it all over to kids • Don Tapscott’s perspective on N-Gen • “idea of a ‘naturally’ computer literate child is more of a social construct than an empirical reality” (Healy, Failure to Connect, p. 21) • Main distinction: lack of fear http://www.wtvi.com/teks
