Finalement l'auteur perçoit les différences générationnelles par rapport à leur histoire voire historique par rapport aux objets techniques.
L'auteur reste sur la division en montrant qu'il faut sans doute la relativiser mais néanmoins songer qu'il ne faudrait pas non plus réagir en conquérants face aux "natives" en bannissant leurs usages notamment du portable et de wikipédia.

However, the group we call “natives”, today’s kids, are not haunted by earlier similar technologies. Their use of a cell phone is not hindered by their functional assumptions carried over from using a party line at home, for example. They aren’t intimidated by a 16 button console controller because they never played Atari with two buttons and a joystick. They adopt technologies easier because, for lack of a better phrase, they don’t know any better. They have no reason to be afraid of a new tool or to be fearful of a new gadget. I watch my 6 year old triplets pick up gadgets, poke at them, test them, and then use them much faster than I ever would simply because they aren’t afraid of them (probably because they didn’t pay for them, as I remind them when they play with my iPhone).
