Grown Up Digital

Digital boom is about to hit the workplace by Don Tapscott, Globe and Mail (Nov

First of four excerpts from Don Tapscott's new book about those kids who were growing up digital 10 years ago (or so), and are now entering the workplace.

"I call them the Net Generation, because they're the first generation to grow up digital. These are the children of the baby boomers, young people turning 11 to 31 this year. They're the biggest generation ever - even more numerous than their baby boomer parents. For them, digital technology is like their parents' fridge: It's not technology to them, but simply a normal part of life."
