I honestly think the kids do better than the parents with the tech these
days. Baby boomers (no offense to any here, this isn't intended to offend,
it's just data) have a much higher propensity of sharing misinformation on
social media and not knowing how to differentiate between fact and fiction.

So I guess I'm saying, on the contrary, smartphones and facebook whether we
like it or not is the soup we're gonna have to swim in, so kids learning this
early and effectively is probably ... helpful. :P
