Kids of the Internet Generation

Abstract

A few years ago, one of us was at a neighbor’s house watching a member of our future workforce in action. She was about 14, sitting in front of her computer, talking on the phone with a couple of her friends through three-way calling, as they browsed a Web site together. Every few seconds, she would respond to one of the five instant messaging chats that she had open on her screen. I thought to myself, “This girl knows how to work in a virtual team.”
