Technology A Skill Needed for College Success
New Millennials • Our current college students • Most were born with a computer in the home and were using them by age 5 • Cyber generation • The connected generation • 82% are online daily • Average 12 hours per week online
Being in the Millennial Generation, I did start using computers as a young child. I learned how to spell with the help of computers and how to read with computerized books. Computers have always been a part of my life, which is probably why I am so drawn to them.Dawn Cardenas College Success Student
