PLN 26-Speaking their Digital Language

I was browsing through The Thinking Stick blog, when I found a article called Speaking their Digital Language. This blog talks about the many 19 and 20 year olds all with their own laptops, mobile phones, and ipods who do not seem at all familiar with blogging or wikis. Teens and young adults aren't in the world of the older technology of what adults think they might know about. They are in their own technology world of: facebook, youtube, myspace, computer games, or video games. Scott Mooney was suprised by this, and pleased to listen to the teens's conversation about today's technology. He thought that teens are willing to share if adults are willing to learn. And people will communicate better with what we are doing, if they understand our "digital language".

I can very much relate to this blog because parents don't understand what kind of technology we are using, and the many daily things we do. I also agree with Scott Mooney about teens willing to share if people are willing to learn.

In the world, our generation technology has become new to adults. They should try to learn what we do for fun, or if we are bored sitting at home with a computer. What may happen in the future, is that the technology and everything else will advance even more and we will not know about in the future, just like adults today.
