5. The Research “...members of this fall’s entering college class of 2014 have emerged as a post-email generation for whom the digital world is routine and technology is just too slow” (Beloit College Mindset List, 2010) Millennial students have always had access to technology such as DVDs, cell phones, MP3s, interactive TV, personal computers and internet (Howe & Strauss, 2000) Millennials have a special relationship to technology. They are not all tech- savvy…in the sense that they all know what’s going on ‘under the hood’ of their gadgets... but they have a unique attachment to the communications power of these new technology tools.” (Rainie, 2006) Doane & Martinez, November 2010
