Epilogue: "Unlearning"

Well a simple but classic example: If you had to send a message to someone far away, you use the postal service. Now you can send messages through email, facebook and aim chat. Probably one of the first things that my generation learned in seventh grade was that you could have conversations with the opposite sex (and remember, in seventh grade when boys and girls are shy to talk to eachother-this was a big deal) through instant messenger. I am willing to bet that 90% of my generation LOVED instant messenger becuase it gave you an easy, unintimidating way to talk to your crushes! This may seem like a childish example, but Im willing to bet that this realization to my generation was like the discovery of the cell-phone to the modern day businessperson! In addition to this, you can have "pen-pals" through the internet. Anytime you enter a chatroom-it's like having a pen pal! Someone you don't know, but you can talk to about yourself and/or about your common interests.
