This article raises an interesting parallel to our discussion this week on communities and gaming. It considers the idea that young people are experts at how to use computers, games and programs, but not how to make, develop and craft those games and programs: "It's the difference between reading and writing. We're teaching them how to read, we're not teaching them how to write. The narrowness of how we teach children about computers risks creating a generation of digital illiterates." Potentially raises a new line of questioning into the issue of educating millennials and being born into the digital age.
