    The Google Generation (people born after 1993) has been said to be very efficient at finding what they want online.  They also are have the "stereotype" of being very good researchers and work well with modern technology. The following article recently published debunks many of these stereotypes and tries to find what really is the behavior of the Google Generation.

    Answer the following questions after reading the below article.   Please submit your work to turnitin.com. Your response must be about a page or so in length.

    • From reading this article what was the basis of some of these Google Generation stereotypes.  Would you agree or disagree with them?
    • How might the studies findings effect the way educators assign research projects?  How can the educator help the Google Generation with the overload of information they are presented with?
    • The article finally suggests things the Google Generation is good at.  From that list which one do you strongly associate yourself with and why?
