Isn't he surprised that there seems to be an escalating number of successful entrepreneurial ventures from the "dumb generation" that spends too much time on the "stupefying" digital stuff? I love this part: "Digital natives, however, go to the Internet not to store knowledge in their minds, but to retrieve material and pass it along. The Internet is just a delivery system." Who the hell creates the content in this "delivery system", then? Plus, with the trend towards interaction and collaboration on the web, it's hardly the passive "delivery system" he's suggesting here.
