Technology is an element of human existence that evolves according to generational progression. Each generation has approached technology and its impact on life very differently. Younger generations incessantly express their impatience with their predecessors' decision to integrate innovative technologies into their daily lives, while their predecessors are baffled as to why their successors are so eager to incorporate such crude technologies. The common terminology used for this difference in opinion is known as the “generation gap.” Historically, we can observe this dispute through the information revolution started by Johannes Guttenberg, the inventor of the printing press. Guttenberg's invention caused chaos, upheaval, and great apprehension on the part of the older generations of this time. It was no longer necessary for individuals to adhere to the priest's words, but for the first time in history people could read the text and formulate their own personal interpretations. There have undeniably been colossal advances in virtually every aspect of human life since the advent of Guttenberg's printing press. However, this prodigious evolutionary leap has produced relatively identical responses, comparable to what modern society recognizes as the digital revolution. As part of the digital revolution, digital technologies have emerged that have surpassed the more radical visions conceived by previous generations. Modern society currently recognizes that the progress of the digital revolution is advancing at incredible speeds and as a result a notable generation gap has once again emerged. Today's gap is the result of our younger generation's thorough education in the world of digital technology....... middle of paper ...... the instantaneous shift of our attention when we are online can make our brains more agile when it comes to multitasking, but improving our ability to multitask actually hinders our ability to think deeply and creatively. (Carr, 140) and “Although Net Geners may learn to shift attention more quickly than their parents, that doesn't mean they will be able to think more creatively or more deeply about a complicated issue.” (Tapscott, 108) However, recognizing that the brains of digital natives are different requires understanding that the learning methods with which digital immigrants have been successful will no longer be sufficient. The methods used for education cannot remain similar to the past. It is a necessity for education to evolve along with the evolution of the human brain; otherwise, education will be less than adequate and become irrelevant to modern society.
