The Google generation...doesn't Google very well

[debgeisler]

From Ars Technica, this story about a UK report on the post-1993 "Google generation" and their research abilities notes:

A new UK report on the habits of the "Google Generation" finds that kids born since 1993 aren't quite the Internet super-sleuths they're sometimes made out to be. For instance, are teens better with technology than older adults? Perhaps, but they also "tend to use much simpler applications and fewer facilities than many imagine."

Here's the link for the full report (as a PDF).
