Print is Dead: Books in Our Digital Age

There’s an article from today’s USA Today entitled “Totally Wireless on Campus,” which talks about a new generation of “digital natives” for whom a digital life is the only life they know. In the “Print is Dead” book I’m so far referring to them as Generation Download or Generation Upload, but I think I’ll now throw Digital Natives into the mix as well (because Generation Next is lame).

Excerpt: “Technology is so second-nature, ‘I can’t even think of when I use it and when I don’t. It’s such a part of life,’ [Hunter, a college student] says.

Hunter isn’t a techno-geek. He’s just a ‘digital native’ — a term that has been used to describe millennials, the first generation who grew up in a world filled with computers, cellphones and cable TV.”
