Prensky argues that the gap between Digital Natives and
Digital Immigrants is the fundamental cause of the"decline of
education ( in the US)," and he contends thatour current
educational system has not been designed toserve today's students
(2001a, p. 1 ).

The generation gaphas been upgraded. In a world brimming with
ever-advancingtechnology, the generations are now separated by a
"brain gap" between young "digital
natives" and older "digital immigrants," according to Dr. Gary
Small, director of UCLA's
Memory and Aging Research Center at the Semel Institute for
Neuroscience and
Human Behavior, and UCLA's Parlow-Solomon Chair on Aging.
"We know that technology is changing our lives. It's also
changing our brains," Small
said during a recent Open Mind lecture for the Friends of the
Semel Institute, a group
that supports the institute's work in researching and developing
treatment for illnesses
of the mind and brain. Small's talk centered around his recently
published book, "iBrain:
Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind."
The human brain is malleable, always changing in response to the
environment, Small
said. "A young person's brain, which is still developing, is
particularly sensitive. ... It's
also the kind of brain that is most exposed to the new
technology."
Digital nativesyoung people born into a world of laptops and
cell phones, text
messaging and twitteringspend an average of 8 1/2 hours each day
exposed to
digital technology. This exposure is rewiring their brain's
neural circuitry, heighteningskills like multi-tasking, complex
reasoning and decision-making, Small said. But there's
a down side: All that tech time diminishes "people" skills,
including important emotional
aptitudes like empathy.
