As the employer of young folks in their 20's and the grandparent of 11grandchildren, I am continually amazed by their seemingly endless knowledge of the computer and what you can do with it. Photoshop a picture? No problem (I didn't even know Photoshop was a verb!). Use a Excel worksheet? Sure thing. I've long accepted the fact that even if I worked at it 24/7 I would never be as adept or use a computer as effortlessly as they do. However, having accepted that, I was still a little surprised to find that my 13 year old granddaughter had set up her own website reviewing movies!
This was her own idea. She and the rest of her family go to the movies pretty much every weekend (sometimes more than once) so she knows what she's talking about when it comes to movies. But I was amazed at the depth of her reviews - much more than "I liked it a lot!" Not only are they much more computer savvy, but they're far ahead of me in blogging and social networking.
I wonder what the next generation will be like???
