generations

Siva Vaidhyanathan just published "Generational Myth: Not All Young People are Tech-Savvy" in the Chronicle of Higher Education Review. http://chronicle.com/temp/email2.php?id=cyR8ms385ZjjcHcyWC5drKsJZckwxjkz I've already written to him to let him know how much I like this piece . . . And it also makes me antsy. As a historian of technology, I often find myself vacillating between generalization and specificity. Well, there's that one diary . . . and on the other there is the category of persons that one diarist represents. Ah, yes. Representation. Again.
