It's all about this comic that is found.
I checked it out. I first found it in "Pleated Jean, Funny Pic Dump 4.19.20" that noted it came from Mashable Comics and using a Google image search found it properly cited, but the link they had to http://mashable.com/2011/08/26/generation-gap-comic/http://mashable.com/2011/08/26/generation-gap-comic/ does not show the whole comic. I did my due diligence.
Here's the story:
When I went to Khan Academy (see yesterday's post), I saw this:
So I recognized Aleece Townsend (an old fish (for breeding) loving friend whomoved to Oregon a few years ago), but did not know who a Aakash Barot was. I click on Aakash Barot image and it took me to his fb page. I saw the above comic under photo.
Thus generation gap reminded me of a few wonderful few days I spent at Learning and the Brain conference, May of 2012 in Crystal City. At the cocktail hour at then end of the first day, I saw a keynoter Larry Rosen and introduced myself. He was speaking to Rey Junco, a presenter with research on the positive impact of twitter) at the cocktail hour. Dr Rosen's Keynote and his breakout sessions discussed how the various generations use the communication tools from telephone, to email, to texting, Twitter ... and how the number of years in a "generation" is getting smaller and smaller (per this cartoon. I read a few of Dr Rosen's posts and watched a few of his videos, time well spent . Then tweeted my adventure and left this comment on with the comic..
