Digital Natives

The technology of today appeals to the newer generations because although it may seem time wasting to older generations, for the younger ones it incorporates the idea of higher level thinking. When participating in playing games on the internet, using instant messages, creating blogs any other of the multitudes of activities available thanks to technology, students are attracted because there are always numerous things occurring. They can participate, communicate, learn, share and relax all through the medium of modern technology. Not as the older generations are used to letters and books, newer generation demand and expect instantaneous satisfaction and results through technology and are always continuously involved. Whether they are controlling the hero of a computer game, chatting with friends or analyzing their next biology assignment students are always occupied, challenged and involved when using modern technology.
