This is very true. Our children and students are going to pass us up. They have a natural connection to technology that we do not. They have access to so much more information and tools, that we couldn't even have fathemed in our school days.
The time is here, we need to not only realize it, accept it, but imbrace it!

I really like the beginning analogy of the Flinstones vs. the Jetsons. I feel as if this analogy is very real and tangible for Digital Immigrants as many of them grew up watching these shows.
