A "generation lap" rather than a "generation gap"
by Scott McLeod
“This is the first time in history when children are an authority on something important. This digital revolution is changing every institution,” Tapscott said. And this, he added, has caused a generation “lap” instead of a generation gap, because kids are lapping parents on the digital track.
“This generation has a big problem - it’s us. The problem, to me, is older people who don’t ‘get it,’” Tapscott said.
