Frank,

You wonder how your students have become so much younger than you all of a sudden?  :-)My students are about TWO decades younger than me and I am finding the same thing that you are finding.  This semester I have five sections of students- about 125 students.  In an informal poll last month I discovered that only about 1% know anything about usenets, discussion lists, etc. 

 

As you can see from the sig file, I am from the States.  Most of my students are not internationals.  What do you think is the reason for their lack of Internet savvy? 

I am perplexed.
