GIFTED GEEKS Emergence of Computer Tech Talent

By Orn Daisha

In the past couple of decades, early adopters of technology have usually been children and teenagers, leaving many parents and teachers in awe of their knowledge and skills. The entire culture has been affected by these changes, as noted by Cross: "This generation of children who are now in their teens has become so technologically savvy that being passionate about technology is becoming more commonplace" (p. 26). According to recent PEW data, 87% of children 12-17 are on-line, and the percentage continues to increase (Fox & Madden, 2006). It seems that now more than ever it is important for schools to recognize young people demonstrating exceptional computer technology savvy, and provide pertinent talent development opportunities if these individuals are to realize their full potential.
