Pew Internet & American Life has a new study on Teens and Technology that was presented at the recent PLA conference.  It covers eight realities of teens and technology:

1.  Millenials are a distinct age cohort, according to many measures of generational behavior and attitude.  (Millenials are born from 1982 to 2000).

2.  Millenials are immersed in a world of media and gadgets.

3.  Their technology is mobile.

4.  The Internet plays a special role in their world.

5.  They are multi-taskers.

6.  Millenials are often unaware of and indifferent to the consequences of their use of technology.

7.  Their (our) technology world will change radically in the next decade.

8.  The way they approach learning and research tasks will be shaped by their new techno-world.
