Not a problem for today's kids who seem capable of texting with the phone in
a pocket.


Every month, Eric, my college student son, has about 5 pages of text
messages on the phone bill.  and just one page of phone calls.  The cell is
his only phone.   I use facebook to follow his antics, and contact him
mostly by text.

When I started this digitization project in 1996, it took me three weeks to
teach my student worker the ropes.  She was an extremely bright person, but
had no experience in PhotoShop.

The next one took about a week.   I usually keep student workers their
entire college career, so I have not had many, but I can see the progression
of computer skills.

My current student worker took about two hours to train, and that was
mostly  in our filing system.

Most homework assignments in this university are submitted online via a
system called blackboard.  Every room in every residence hall has broadband
internet, hardwire and wireless.

The Library and several academic buildings are networked for wireless.

They have grown up in it and even those of us who make our living doing
computer stuff are amazed at their ability.
