Google generation (Generation Z)      

Generation of young people born after 1994 as  `Google generation’. According to Wikipedia, the phrase has entered popular usage, as “a shorthand way of referring to a generation whose first port of call for knowledge is the internet and a search engine, Google being the most popular”. This is offered in contrast to earlier generations who “gained their knowledge through books and conventional libraries”.

According to reaserch from The University College London (UCL)

There are some facts describing people born after 1994:

- are dangerously lacking information skills
- they rely on the most basic search tools
- do not possess the critical and analytical skills to asses the information that they find on the web
- prefer visual information over text
- want variety of learning experience
- shifted decisivelt to digital communication
- zero tolerance for delay
- need to feel constantly connected to the web
- learn by doing rather than knowing
- prefer quick information in form of easy digested short chunks rather then full text
- poor understanding or no respect for intelectual property
- format agnostic
- virtual experience might be as real as the real experience

Remind me of some texts describing future machines, rather then emotional human beings?
