Realize the story needs some add-ons. a. I find that my newbie Master's students, unless extremely well trained as undergrads, also are making the transition between the "right answer" and thinking critically. b. One reason why internet stuff is becoming routinized is that it is now the great majority of the North American young adult population. So no "gee whiz" (altho possibilities always changing) and less early adopter extra-special smartness. The institutional of the Internet -- and of Internet studies. Just my .02. YMMV.
