The bestselling book announcing the arrival of the NetGeneration-those kids who are growing up digital-now in paperback. Heraled by Library Journal as one of the Best Business Books of 1997, Growing Up Digital tells how the N-Generation is learning to communicate, work, shop and play in profoundly new ways-and what implications this has for the world and business. Growing Up Digital offers an overview of the N-Generation, the generation of children who in the year 2000 will be between the ages of two and twenty-two. This group is a tsunami that will force changes in communications, retailing, branding, advertising, education, etc. Tapscott commends that the N-Generation are becoming so technologically proficient that they will lap their parents and leave them behind. The book also demonstrates the common characteristics of the N-Generation: acceptance of diversity, because the Net doesn't distinguish between racial or gender identities, curiosity about exploring and discovering new worlds over the Internet and assertiveness and self-reliance, which result when these kids realize they know more about technologythan the adults around them. | Growing Up Digital by Don Tapscott, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
