I had no chance to read it, but citing Don Tapscott - from his blog today - the findings of his new book seem surprising to our generation of non-natives: "Critics say the Net Generation is dumb, coddled and narcissistic. Steve Maich in this week's Maclean's is the most recent example.
Maich says that young people are a bunch of shallow, selfish, spoiled good-for-nothings who should just grow up and learn that success can only be achieved through serious effort and discipline.
I disagree, and unlike many of the critics of this generation, my opinions are based on research. I led a survey of 11,000 young people as part of a multi-million research project conducted by the think tank I founded years ago. We also interviewed employers and dozens of experts in North America to paint our portrait of today's youth."
