Abstract

Most of us have come to our positions in information technology as what Marc Prensky would call "digital immigrants." We descended from, and spend most of our time in, a primarily analog world, yet we have the responsibility to create and lead a primarily digital world. What resources can we consult to find a sense of direction and meaning as we navigate this strange new world?
