A lot of older people I know are a lot more savy with computers, cell phones, etc., than this report indicates.

...how f--king condescending can you get? I'm over 50 and I program CAN systems 24/7 for a living. Honestly, all this talk about technology, like it is the end-all of society, while 25% of high school age teens fail to graduate from a Fed Ed ciriculum that is equivelent to what was an eighth grade education when I was in school. Generation Gap...ya think?

Hey liar, you cannot even spell. Is it a lie that you can program anything except your subscription to Rush Limpbaugh's site? I guess a guy 'with two degrees' and whom makes over '$100,000 per year' has to lie to make himself feel good? By the way idiot (oops I mean liar) where did you get the quote '25% of high school age teens fail to graduate from a Fed Ed ciriculum that is equivelent to what was an eighth grade education when I was in school', can you give me a source or did you make this up also? Liar?

By the way stupid it is 'curriculum' not 'ciriculum' and it is 'equivalent' not 'equivelent'. That's why I think you made it up. A guy with two degrees would not misspell those two easy-learned in the 3rd grade words. What an idiot (oops I mean a liar).

Monkey boy, above, is the perfect embodiment of the current generation and what we failed at properly raising. He lauds himself as a terrific speller, but admit he relies on a machine to do it for him.

Wow...impressive. If only it could think, eh?

Then, in endless ignorance, he spews one insult after another, afraid to offer a single argument on any of the above topics. Now, monkey boy, run along and do your dilligence, find out that, among high school-age people in America almost 25% fail to receive a high school diploma, a telling fact given the already dumbed - down Fed Ed that has scores dropping for the last 40 years. Honestly, the number of people I run into that cannot perform the simplest of tasks is sobering. All this technology and it just keeps getting worse. I have an associate recording all of his lectures on tape because he says no one at the college reads anymore.

Run out, monkey boy, do the work of finding out about the dismal failure of the federal gov't's involvement over the last 40 years and then ask yourself why it is you are such a pussy as to offering one, single, cogent argument, as opposed to the endless insults.

My guess?

You're like most of the empty shirted libnazis, enthralled with your own image, but empty as to any real intellect. My spelling? Boo Hoo. At least I do not rely on a machine to correct my errors and then act as if it is my own skill correcting it.

No, monkey boy, you'll have to do way better than that. Personally, I doubt you have it in you, but my weakenss is believing in people. Now run along and focus that razor sharp intellect on yourself and let the grown- ups do the thinking. Thank god someone is.

You guess? Why not just make up a bunch of crap instead of guessing liar. So instead of defending what was said about you being a liar, you just rumble the same old crap as you cannot defend yourself as a liar. You are a liar....monkeyboy!
