&quot;young people just get technology in a way that older generations don&#x27;t&quot;<p>This is <i>not</i> true! The more you&#x27;re accustomed to a technology the less you understand it.  Teens have no f-ing clue how the internet works, how computers work.  They don&#x27;t spend weekends putting together a computer from scratch, and setting up a LAN at one of their friends house.<p>This is not a criticism, that&#x27;s just how it is.  I remember vividly getting my first VCR. When it was broken my dad and I were able to open it and somehow fix it up (to a point :), now who can do that?<p>The whole &quot;they were born with it, they just get it&quot; is a myth and totally backward, the more you take a technology for granted the less you understand it.
