The Best Paragraph I've Read: "Educators sometimes assume Gen Z digital natives already know how to type because they’re so familiar with tech. After all, nearly half of teens say they are online “almost constantly,” according to a survey from Pew Research Center. But while today’s students have greater access to laptops, tablets and smartphones, that access doesn’t automatically translate into typing skills." This paragraph comes from an article in the Wall Street Journal. The article is titled: "Gen Z-ers Are Computer Whizzes. Just Don't Ask Them to Type." The author is Georgia Wells. You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/gen-z-typing-computers-keyboards-c83d15f0 Zac & Don discuss why young people struggle with typing. They wonder what school computer classes are doing in place of teaching typing. They also wonder if this is actually a problem. In addition they discuss the rising number of young people who do not have drivers license and wonder if this is a good or bad trend. You can read the driver license article here:
