Abstract

Students and young workers, late teens and twenty-somethings, now constitute the petite digerati, people who have been wired and in constant contact with their friends and peers since pre-school. Their use of technology is intuitive, instinctive, and pervasive, their confidence in their group opinions is almost unprecedented, and they are about to enter the work force in large numbers. Will they represent an enormous boon to American knowledge worker productivity and to productivity more generally, or will they constitute a burden and a challenge to HR departments everywhere?
