E-Mail's Big Demographic Split - NYTimes.com - 1 views

Bradford Saron on 23 Dec 10What a great graphic to ponder. Apparently, email is not instantaneous enough for generations new to technology. Michael Wesch often quotes Marshall McLuahn who said, "We look at the present through a rear-veiw mirror. We march backward into the future." This is a perfect example of how older age groups adapt to new technologies, which is through their understanding of the past. -
Deb Gurke on 26 Dec 10I think this connects to your post about the youtube "cheating" video. We have to understand how the world is changing and, even if we do not like it, adapt to these changes. Just as email has become outdated, so has multiple choice tests from test banks developed by book publishers. I'd be inteersted in Michael Wesch's thoughts on the "cheating" incident.
