Digital-illiteracy among parents is not something that can be easily bridged. I've recognized that I am functionally illiterate in the digital world. I can barely navigate my local library and google is just another word for card catalog and reader's guide to periodical literature... put that along side typewriter ribbon.  The point being, I don't even have the basic shared experiences! I don't know that a parent today can make the technology time investment that children do -- and still hold a full time bill paying job. 

I knew a 16 year old who was supporting his family back in the '80's when his buds were bagging groceries and he was programming on a Commadore! The gap is sooo much greater today...
Any ideas? How to close it.
