Generation Y
All demongraphics are part of the hire education mode these days but generation Y are the Techy "Babies I like ot call them and and are truly seeking hire education and technology.
I suspect there may be trade-offs here as well. The time spent on mastering technology has to come from somewhere, and the ways other generations were educated provided a solid Liberal Arts grounding that seems to me took a longer view of culture. Of course, the whole notion of what consists of our culture has undergone radical changes with technology, but I wonder how well that will serve young people later in life.

The digital divide also offers an opportunity for inter-generations to learn from each other and apply what's best.
Paul,
yes, the tech skills this generation has will serve them well & we have a great opportunity to help them develop & learn problem solving & critical thinking skills.

I feel that with the changing to a basically electronic financial,commerce,medical,and business world that the Y generation will be best capable of handling the transitions needed to employabale as old ways give way to the new ways...PAUL T. ROUGEMONT
