Teenagers Teaching Tech
[SUMMARY—Teenagers Teaching Tech.]
(US) No-one will doubt that kids lead the way with technological know how in most families homes. Its been that way for quite some time now. However, it doesn't appear to be going anywhere. Kids still have the knowledge, parents still struggle to keep up, and products are still purchased and supplied with manuals that really don't need much explanation, other than 'have a fiddle and you'll get the gist of it'.
How long do you think we'll have to wait before some smart cookie figures a way to get these smart kids on the ends of phone? Or chat client or even working in learning centers that can not only provide a decent consumer service to the public, but also to cross a technological divide as well as a social one?
This thought was inspired by a story I found today about high school students teaching courses in Photoshop, game design, Web design and MS Office etc, all free for students and community users to take advantage of.
