Grelber we are getting old and it all to easy to forget that kids entering college today…
• have never licked a postage stamp
• have grown up treating WiFi as an entitlement
• Snip last 8 points….substitute et cetera.
You make 10 good points but I think you could add #11. This may be the first generation not to know what it means to be alone with their thoughts.
We grew up knowing what it means to drive a car or go for a walk without a companion, or without inevitable electronic interruption. This generation doesn't and I'm not sure this is a particularly good development.
It can be argued that they could just "turn it off" but, from what I've witnessed, most young people would view the off status as unimaginable.
