	Randall has discussed the silliness of some intergenerational discourse before, and certainly some of it is, but I think he isn't appreciating the fact that the difference in life experience between successive generations is growing larger and larger, as technology increases exponentially. This is causing problems, and will cause more, I think. In particular, we used to go to our elders for practical wisdom, but less and less of their wisdom is applicable. As a society we are stumbling in the dark; worse yet, we are accelerating into it.

	Explaining something to children (or vice versa like here) is a common feature in the comic.

 I think the title text is overly optimistic. It's not that we're *all* going to be pouring over the rambling blog posts of a teenager: It's that the news media will. And if they have an axe to grind they will create meaning that suits their agenda where there is none.

 The first wave of the internet generation will still be at a disadvantage. As early adopters, they will be competing with late adopters who won't have a record of their youthful indiscretions. This will make the internet generation appear more irresponsible by comparison, and likely result in them having worse chances to get positions of power, like the presidency. --[[Special:Contributions/199.27.128.66|199.27.128.66]] 22:37, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
