Prensky argues that the gap between Digital Natives and
Digital Immigrants is the fundamental cause of the"decline of education ( in the US)," and he contends thatour current educational system has not been designed toserve today's students (2001a, p. 1 ).

The generation gaphas been upgraded. In a world brimming with ever-advancingtechnology, the generations are now separated by a "brain gap" between young "digital
natives" and older "digital immigrants," according to Dr. Gary Small, director of UCLA's
Memory and Aging Research Center at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and
Human Behavior, and UCLA's Parlow-Solomon Chair on Aging.
"We know that technology is changing our lives. It's also changing our brains," Small
said during a recent Open Mind lecture for the Friends of the Semel Institute, a group
that supports the institute's work in researching and developing treatment for illnesses
of the mind and brain. Small's talk centered around his recently published book, "iBrain:
Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind."
The human brain is malleable, always changing in response to the environment, Small
said. "A young person's brain, which is still developing, is particularly sensitive. ... It's
also the kind of brain that is most exposed to the new technology."
Digital nativesyoung people born into a world of laptops and cell phones, text
messaging and twitteringspend an average of 8 1/2 hours each day exposed to
digital technology. This exposure is rewiring their brain's neural circuitry, heighteningskills like multi-tasking, complex reasoning and decision-making, Small said. But there's
a down side: All that tech time diminishes "people" skills, including important emotional
aptitudes like empathy.
