Quote: "And above all, we must stop disparaging digital prowess just because some of us over 40 don't happen to possess it."
Response: I agree with this quote very much. When one thinks about it, it seems that the older generation is always putting down technology. They would rather keep things the way it's always been, such as reading from a textbook, using paper and pencil, or counting on our fingers, but the social media of the world disagrees with that. Children are being born into a world where technology is in control and that is all they know and it is how they learn. The older generations need to be eager to learn how to use a computer or send out a text message. Stop complaining about this huge digital change and just cooperate and understand it.
