WHAT IS GENERATION I?
Generation I is the internet generation that will have no memory of life before internet forums, email, Wikipedia, search engines, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, cell phones and texting.
What this means to parents is that unless they jump on the technology bandwagon right alongside their children, they will be living with a child who exists in a parallel universe that parents will rarely be able to enter.
The fact is, technology is fantastically fun! That's why kids use it. Parents can have fun too. Generation I should be defined as a generation of children whose level of technological sophistication lifts parents to greater awareness and achievement. Wouldn't that be a wonderful legacy to encourage?
But how? Just ask. This forum is for parents who are learning to drive as fast as their children on the technological superhighway.
