 No worries. No chance of desertion. Missed blogging actually. And reading other blogs. Agree, time will only tell how savvy this next generation will be. "The balm is 'connectivity'"....wow, love that juxtaposition Nui!

 I have a feeling that the older generation will have to give them a lot of room and be prepared for the day when this generation will become prominent leaders of the world. If you've noticed, the politically-engaged and active generation have decreased in age by two decades. I think it is only fair to give them the limelight as it will be mostly their responsibility to clean up the mess left by the industrial generation. There doesn't necessarily have to be a "gap", the balm is "connectivity".... across generations. Also I hope a lot of them study McLuhan, ; )

Tammy, I missed you in class last Wednesday. Don't desert us!

 and here i was thinking that they were awfully spoiled. that is a very large percentage of private televisions and computers. we always had to share and fight over the one (of each) that we had in my family.....

i loved your last sentence mark. about society not yet knowing quite what to make of this connectivity of the next generation. what sort of effects do you envision on the dynamic between the two generations? how can they reconcile this tremendous schism in their processing styles or is it just another example of a generation gap?

 Connected, for sure. Savvy? That remains to be seen. Affected by their connectivity in the way with which they engage the world? Most certainly. Disruptive to the expectations of a society that was socialized in a completely different way? You'd better believe it! And that society doesn't yet know quite what to make of it.
