A generational gap exists between those that grew up with modern technology and those that did not. This gap becomes visible when evaluating the electronic world of modern gaming and education. On one side is the idea that these games breed violence, reduce self esteem, and prevent the development of necessary skills for life. On the other side is a new technology that has the potential to enhance and accelerate educational and social skills in a totally new way. Modern technology is a fascinating step in human evolution that should be understood and embraced as an educational tool instead of feared and stifled.
