[Yr7-10it] oldies but goodies

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Interesting article in The Age that languished as a draft for too long on my
PC. An oldie but still worth passing on. Not such much about computer geeks
but it does give a clue into the mind of what now might motivate our
students.

"Young people live life faster," says Lyn Goodall, president of the
Melbourne PC User Group. "They don't have a need or a wish to know what is
going on under the bonnet of their computer." The modern young geek seems
content to socialise online, rather than seek physical company of fellow
geeks.

And this article that considers how Technology has changed the family
relationships at home, sometimes for the worse.
