(PDF) The Emerging Online life of the Digital Native: What they do differently because of technology, and how they do it

By Marc Prenksy (thought leader, speaker, writer, consultant, game designer in education and learning)

The article discusses how we process information. It covers important topics, the Learning section discusses how technology has changed the way we learn. Technology is making us more self-sufficient, if we want to learn something, we can look it up online.

Microsoft has invested more money to focus more on the search business.
