Discuss: The Dumbest Generation? This week, we are discussing whether you think that the Internet has turned youth into a generation of unproductive employees, violent video-game addicts and ignorant citizens? One author says yes. Based on a multi-million dollar research project, Don Tapscott (author of Wikinomics and Growing Up Digital) argues no. Learn more and have your say! |
