Except for the fact that those of us living in the US will probably struggle to pay for college and then still not be able to get a job, or any kind of loan. And we just forget about social security. Ha All you adults buying millions of things you don't need with money you don't have. Its all your fault. yep you really screwed things for us. thanks Yeah we, the tech-savy generation, are awesome!

Besides a study of only 24 adults hardly seems comprehensive.

As the researcher said we should also develop the skill of maintaining the balance between this evolutionary change and social relationship.

"The researcher said said the tech-savvy generation, whom he calls “digital natives,” are always scanning for the next bit of new information which can create stress and even damage neural networks." Where is the edge in the "stressed & damaged"? Is that just the collateral damage of that slippery thing called "progress"? Hmmm…

I've been compiling lists of sociological changes I see in this next generation of kids and am convinced that its a big evolutionary leap, unseen and unexpected by our previously dominant paradigm.

Just because you might be in the higher societal standing doesn't mean you will have a competitive advantage and higher fitness (in fact, most people who are well off tend to have fewer children, not more).
