Born Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives by John Palfrey
Did not finish book.
I didn't get through this. I found it to be very dry, which was strange considering how much interest this topic holds for me. I think my issue lays in the fact that the book was written for an audience that's older than I am and really not engaged with the online world at all. So, a lot of what was covered was stuff that was nothing new to me, because I am interested in this stuff and use it myself. But even the intro chapter about how kids born now will have all kinds of digital flotsam & jetsam following in their wake (everything from medical records to baby photos), and how they will have zero control over most of it, didn't really grab me. So, I was a bit disappointed.
