Digital Culture Studies

Are college students techno-idiots? While I don’t like the term ‘idiot’, I do wonder sometimes about the nature of technology fluency at the undergraduate level and whether or not colleges plan to address this in terms of core competancy in the same way that alcohol use and other social norms are addressed. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that this isn’t a problem limited strictly to students on campuses - how do you understand the need for technology-fluency if you yourself are not fluent? And even if you can understand it, how do you impart knowledge you don’t have to your students?
