Abstract: Abstract Younger generations can be distinguished from their parents and teachers because they have grown up with digital technology, from the first computers to the Internet and all the different communication and entertainment devices, such as mobile phones, iPods, iPads and game consoles. The relevant literature has used several terms to express this idea from the phrase “digital natives/digital immigrants” (Prensky 2001a, b, 2009, 2010; Palfrey and Gasser 2008) to the terms “Net generation” (Leung 2004; Oblinger and Oblinger 2005; Tapscott, 1998), “Millennials” (Howe and Strauss 1991, 2000, 2003), “Generation Y” (or Google Generation) (Jorgensen 2003; Weiler 2005; McCrindle 2006) and “Generation M(edia)/(ultitasker)” (Roberts et al. 2005).
