Tapscott

While reading through this chapter of Don Tapscott's book Growing up digital i began to become angry when i was reading through and it was talking bad about our generation saying we are dumb and lazy and do not know how to do anything. But while i continued to read on i realized that Don did not believe in this. He believes we are one of the smartest generations because we are all adapted to electronics and technologies. He also said that our generation is known as the net gen, which means we are a generation who is a generation that their life is pretty much based on the internet and technologies. Many people believe that our generation is losing our social skills because of texting, Facebook, twitter, and other technologies. I personally believe these things have improved our social life because with texting, Facebook, and twitter you can still remain in contact with old friends that you never get to see. Many people also believe that our generation is to obsessed with the net that we do not play sports or go outside anymore. I believe this might be true because before everyone had a smart phone or even internet people would spend more time outside enjoying the weather and playing sports outside. Many kids now would rather stay inside and play on their xbox then ever go outside and throw a baseball or football around. But in the chapter Don disagrees with what these people have to say.
