You should classify what knowledge you expect from kids when it comes to their usage of the internet. Even professionals find it hard to accurately search for stuff they want on the net because they get swamped with unneeded articles with every search from google and others.

Good talking point though.

I’m one of those ‘kids’, and I’d completely agree, provided you’re talking of “average” kids.

Dan, obviously I was a bit facetious in my post – there are lots of smart, tech-savy college students out there (much smarter and tech-savier than I am). However, there is this general assumption that kids in general know oh so much about computers – and I find that to be patently false.

So I’m not attacking YOU personally, but the false assumptions a lot of adults have about kids and computers.

Personally, I would disagree. I and many of the people I hang out with have been tech-savvy beyond this level since high school. I’ve interned with companies as both company and consumer tech support. I’ve built my own computer. Twice. So before you go ahead assuming every college student is an incompetent lush who doesn’t understand the technology he or she uses, don’t forget about those of us who keep severs like yours running.
