"Technology is advancing at an accelerating rate. Schools are providing teens with a traditional education, but they are unable to keep up with this evolution. Limited individual computer accessibility, minimal hands-on training for teachers, and insufficient technical support are all obstacles many schools face. While the availability of curriculum continues to grow, the lack of time and skills required to select, integrate, and teach with technology continues to be a barrier. In addition, funding to provide updated computers, ongoing maintenance, training and support will always be a challenge. The result is an inability for schools to provide the time, space, or platform for teens to fully utilize technology, either individually or in groups. This lack of integration prevents teens from gaining skills and extending their abilities with technology. Therefore, teens miss the opportunity to find their passion with, or through the use of technology, including the chance to interact with others."

A poll carried out for electronics retailer Plantronics showed 63 per cent of managers saying new graduates communicated less vocally than their colleagues.
"The way this new generation wants to work is different and that's no surprise," said Plantronics UK general manager Paul Clark. "Graduates today have grown up with newer forms of communication."
Only 16 per cent of managers attributed the reluctance to pick up the phone or talk face to face to a lack of interpersonal skills.
