This author starts by stating the old myth that kids are "digital natives" and are more tech savvy than adults. He goes on to state why people think this. He then goes on to talk about his first set of computers and how he had to operate them. He then talks about all of the things that kids do not know how to do within the computer, and then turning to what they can do on computers. He goes on to conclude his article by stating reasons why the younger generations will become problems due to their un-knowing of how to use the nitty and gritty of computers, and then he gives some solutions to this said problem.
I can agree and disagree with the opening statement as well as the entire article. I think that a lot of kids cannot compute like people did in what I would consider the "olden" days. I consider myself to be pretty tech savvy and even I did not know what the heck he was talking about when he was talking about his old computers. I honestly do not know why I would need to know those things, seeing as most computers just do all of that stuff for you; its just not really necessary unless you want to be like a computer programmer or something like that.
