      Paragraph 14: "[Digital Natives] are used to the instantaneity of hypertext, downloaded music, phones in their pockets, a library on their laptops, beamed messages and instant messaging. They've been networked most or all of their lives. They have little patience for lectures, step-by-step logic, and "tell-test" instruction."

      Paragraph 15: "Digital Immigrant instructors make their education not worth paying attention to compared to everything else they experience - and then they blame them for not paying attention!"
