In fact they won't remember life without computers. The Net Generation will grow up with the best technology yet. Kids like and accept technology as they don't know life without it. The Net generation Kids were born early eighties, long after the invention of television, radio, and film, so these technologies do not belong to them. Interactive multimedia, including the Internet, CD ROM and game stations, typify and identify the Net generation.
Adults programme and control television and radio, while Kids are passive observers.
Television programmes are inflexible, and chosen by the station. Adults make all the choices and Kids recognise this. This is all in contrast to multimedia technology that responds to individual command. The Internet is fundamentally different to television in that it allows Kids to make choices. Kids control their world on the Net.
