Great post, Luke. One thing that caught my attention was your point regarding teens currently living in a world where there is an over-abundance of information to consume. I can at times feel overwhelmed at the amount of information that comes at me all day, every day and have always assumed that children and teens would feel the same. I did some reading the other night though about digital natives and digital immigrants – there are some studies to show that children and teens now process information differently due to our digital 24/7 world and are far better equipped to handle the amount of information that is hurled at them. I feel I’m a reasonably well adjusted digital immigrant but sometimes I wish I was able to process a little faster like the natives 🙂
