Today, on the Chronicle.com’s Wired Campus blog sociologist “Eszter Hargittai, an assistant professor in Northwestern University’s sociology department, has discovered that students aren’t nearly as Web-savvy as they, or their elders, assume.” Most librarians and many professors have already discovered this. This Q&A article is a good reminder that most “digital natives” are not knowledgeable about web technology nor the many tools (e.g. search engines) they use work. Read the article’s comments too.
