Research reflection

So far I totally agree with all of the research that I have found up to date. I think that overall what the researchers, doctors and scientists is what I was hypothesizing would happen before I started my research. I thought that if someone was taught at an early age to use a computer or even was just introduced to technology, such as programs like Baby Einsteins, that they would grow up with a better grasp on technology. Better at least than someone like me, who had a computer growing up but was never really taught how to use one at an early age, nor was even interested in learning how to do so. I have learned that technology and digital literacy are similar to a foreign language. And it is scientifically proven that when taught at a young age, it is much easier to learn one. This was the basis for my argument and research. I wanted to find proof that there was a reason why in a generation like mine, there are young adults who are fluent with technology and there are others again like me who are not. After taking much time looking at the research that I concluded that it was very similar, if not the same, as learning a second language: younger does equal easier, and because of this it also equals becoming more fluent throughout life. Meaning that it will be easier to pick up new things and tools along the way.
