The NET Generation - what does it mean?

At one glance, I thought the NET generation represents solely a generation born in the era of advanced technology and that's that! It never crossed my mind that being a Net-Gen kid also means having a set of qualities which are totally different from kids in the previous generation. It just dawned upon me how important it is for us, as teachers, to know what these qualities are. By knowing and understanding, we would be able to tailor our language teaching to suit the pupils' needs and interests. By knowing what drives these pupils, we are able to bridge the gap in their learning by providing them wisdom in what we know and harnessing their skills and potential by transferring them into academic purposes.
