This quote is relating to how the internet has become a tool for many in the age ranges of 11-31. The "other" generations seem to use old fashioned ideas to get information like to find a phone number, find what movies are playing in the theatres, as well as shopping in the stores. This age range has adapted and learned how to use the net to shop or even find an apartment. Technology moves at a high rate of speed and if the "other" generations do not know what is happening they will have a hard time catching up to learn.
The net generation is the age group that can learn and adapt as fast as their minds can learn. Managers are finding this generation to be a high recruit. This group can play an important role in the way businesses are run. Their civic activity is becoming a new form of social activism. The net generation is the next generation to help shape the world.

This is an interesting article/blog ss I completely agree that this new generation of cyber user can surf and gather infomation at the speed of light. Even now I see my two children able to research information on the net that I would normally not even think of how to gain access too. I also believe that employers find this ability a valuable competency and will use it when recruting new-age talent for their organization. Especially in the sales and marketing arenas, and certainly for the renewable energy field where research and science can be conducted world wide over the internet.
