The article discusses that there are three different "generations" of young Americans. These different generations include high schoolers, college-aged, and a third generation is 25-29. Many of Millennials use the internet specifically social networks. Though an interesting concept is that millennials find that a lot of important information is not available on the internet. It vital that libraries embrace media landscapes used by these younger generations. Though study found that from 2012 to 2013 persons who visited library decreased, there was a increase in amount of people utilizing the websites. Younger Americans are satisfied with technology usage at libraries and what they are able to access.
Opinion:
This article provided more statistics based on surveys of Young Americans. From reading this journal and others discussing similar topic it seems as though libraries are doing an exceptional job provide adequate technology services.
