So this article is basically stating that the old has to somewhat go but the new isn’t working out so great. Trying to teach new material about computer and machines like that is quite hard for the people of an era who didn’t have this technology. With teachers and company owners today there are many problems being faced because our technology is advancing. Many people who are graduating now a receiving jobs and other from about a decade ago are losing them.
This article proves so much that something needs to be done and a meeting point needs to be put in effect. Yes it is hard to teach new technology but our students need that technology to expand. The one thing I can think of after reading this article is my grandmother saying my generation is so different, etc. etc. etc. It goes right back into teenagers being different because of the advantages they have in technology. And we all know that twenty from now I’ll be saying that the generation is so different and it will still be changing.

hey there,
So what do you think about his ideas about "natives" and "immigrants"? Did this metaphor resonate with you? Waht does it mean to speak to a group of students (as a teacher) if they might not even speak the same "language" as you?
