The book was very enjoyable to read especially considering my future career will be dealing with technology. One thing I found hysterically funny was some of the things the "oldsters" did. When Tapscott was talking about them and then I thought will this ever happen to me? I think my favorite one was when I read that someone was trying to delete something off a disk using white-out. I do not even see where the logic was in that due to being raised with CDs. It just makes me think that if there is a when that happens to me then I really need to catch up.
Later on Tapscott talks about people he calls "Net Geners" and how they can process information much faster than their parents would. I never really thought about whether or not I did before reading this section. Later I realized it is true when a event such as scrolling through some pictures on my computer to delete as to make space occurred. My mom wanted to go through them with me to make sure that I did not delete any that either she wanted or did not have. As I was scrolling my mom kept telling me to slow down or asking "Woah, what was that?" I thought it was strange and that maybe it was just cause they were older than me. Tapscott caused me to think differently which I do fully agree with.
