Quote: "As a researcher in the area, my reading of that sort of negativity is more to do with intergenerational issues and the fact that, in our current climate, I think a lot of times the use of some of these newer media tools, like social networking sites, is seen as so much in the domain of a younger generation. There’s a confounding of the situation because I don’t think intergenerational challenges are new, nor has our human response to new technology been something new. It’s been with us for a long time, as well."

I'm not sure what you many by this (many of the issues are intergenerational). Could you explain? Stuart
