I love the comic strip Zits, which is really in tune with the parent-teenager relationship. I don’t have a teenager but I was one, and I often see echoes of myself and my parents within the strip. Recently though, the strip has been focused on the ways in which teenagers communicate with each other and the ways in which this is challenging for their parents. I don’t see a whole lot of myself in this. I’m no longer a teenager and I don’t have any digital natives of my own. I just have to assume that, as always, Zits is doing an excellent job of portraying this world. It certainly seems accurate.

Sorry, I know this is a site for MCDM, but I read your blog every day and loved this post. It reminded me of conversations with my grandfather this weekend and how he wanted to tell me how to use Google (helpful hints, how to search, etc.). I just kept silent and nodded. I’m anything but new to the workings of Google search.
I went to look for the cartoon you posted so I could link to it on my own blog and then I came across today’s Zits which relates to your previous posts relating to Twitter. Had to share. http://www.arcamax.com/pic/62809/714459
