The faculty noticed the great generational differences and conducted surveys which demonstrate some of the great differences between generations. || JoelF || Noble || users of Web 2.0 technologies: Preliminary findings || I thought that this article was interesting due to the research that shows the net gen may not be as big of users of Web 2.0 tech as we first suspected. I know that I use some tech like social networking and file sharing, but I don't use wikis of blogs as often.
