Language of the 21st century learner

Everything surrounding technology is different for me.  I am learning things all the time and find things fascinating as time goes on.  I also reminicsce about when things were more simple as well.  I can understand how this does not equate to the kids of today.  They are far more computer savvy and technology sound.  What I may look at as intriguing they stumbled upon months/years ago and moved on to the next thing.  For example I have mastered the use of the power-point and excel programs but these kids have figured out how to make the computer to make the work easier than the calculator.  We may be behind but the respect is there.  As long as we can continue to evolve it won't be that hard for the kids to continue to learn.  There just needs to be a much better way for us to have interact and be productive for that to happen.  As digital immigrants, we cant be historic and expect these natives to want to be bothered with how we are teaching them.
