“There weren’t the multiplicity of options available to a kid in the sixties like we have for our children in our present day and time. I recently watched an evening news segment that quantified my point. The report took a survey of kids who were tech savvy. They were computer literate, owned an ipod and video game of choice. Their parents had internet access. These kids frequently accessed Google for information.
The hypothesis was created from this question: Are kids now lazy because of technology? Are they less creative? The report seemed to indicate that kids don’t have to think. Google does it all. They don’t have to be as creative. Their cognitive domains are bombarded with quick access to information with minimal need to exhibit retention or recall. Just log back on to Google! The report ended with a question that creates curiosity. Are kids of the technology age as creative as we were in the sixties?
