You make a great point. Both books I've referenced seemd to indicate that our adult brains can be rewired to be creative, etc., based on the training we give our brains. The point of course is that our kids' brains are already wired a particular way because they are digital natives and the digital world is all they've ever known. The REwiring of our brains by the Internet occurs for us, the digital immigrants, because our brains were originally wired differently.

I know that when I started exploring Web 2.0, I was excited, yet also informationally overwhelmed. I have read some books on how to manage information in our social networking world, and feel that I have "re-wired" my 45 yr old brain to be more efficient with "bit literacy" skills. Now...I don't know how that would translate if I were a student taking a course with a digital textbook, but I have faith in the flexibility of our brains that we would be able to adapt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
