This generation is known for its ability to multitask and utilize many technological devices simultaneously. This is a stark difference from previous generations. (Gibson, 2009)
Millenials love technology so much that half of them would rather give up their sense of smell than a critical device (Warner 2013)
Current statistics show that the majority of people who consider Themselves “gamers” are under the age of thirty (Johnson, et al 2013)
expect technology to play a large role in learning …. allowing access to vast areas of informational sources through multimedia modes with an emphasis on entertainment (Chelliah & Clarke, 2011)
Millennials are so comfortable learning and adapting to technological change, that they are deficient in soft skills (Meyers & Sadaghiani, 2010; Hartman & McCambridge 2011)
