Computers aren't technology
technology is a part of life

The Internet is better than TV
the Internet is interactive; TV is not

Reality is no longer real
everything can be altered when digitized

Doing is more important than knowing
results are considered as more important than acquired knowledge

Learning more closely resembles Nintendo than logic
a trial and error approach to problem-solving is seen more than a logic-and rule-based approach

Multitasking is a way of life
there is no problem in engaging in multiple activities simultaneously

Typing is preferred to handwriting
penmanship has been superseded by keyboard skills

Staying connected is essential
the capacity to be connected anyplace, anytime exists with cells, pagers, and PDAs

There is zero tolerance for delays
there is a strong demand for immediacy and 24/7 access to everything

Consumer and Creator are blurring
in a digital world, anything is everyone's property
