That’s the title of a post at Ars Technica, which begins:

A new UK report on the habits of the “Google Generation” finds that kids born since 1993 aren’t quite the Internet super-sleuths they’re sometimes made out to be. For instance, are teens better with technology than older adults? Perhaps, but they also “tend to use much simpler applications and fewer facilities than many imagine.”

I’ve posted before that we older types needn’t take a back seat to the kids when it comes to using computers. Older adults should not be hindered by the misconception that computers are only for the young.
