But Matthew, what does this really mean? It reads like post-modernist,
everything-gores drivel: a series of conceptually fractured clauses-aka non
sequiturs-starting down one alley, ending down another. "As a researcher in
the area...": Que? "As a wheat farmer in the Wimmera, I reckon that string
theory is a bit of multi-universal nonsense. Well, good on you.
This is one of the many problems with the anyone-can-be-an-expert (aka
Wikipedia-based) blogosphere. Who really gives a rats what Dr Donelittle
from Quambatook thinks?

"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."

Grr! That should be: "I'm not sure what you *mean* by this..."

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