The differences between new and old generation is that, the new generation uses multi-track activity while the old generation uses single-track activities. Here are some preferences in Technology generations: Text vs. visuals, Linear vs. Hyper media, Independent vs. social learners, Learning to do vs. Learning to pass the test, Delayed rewards vs. Instant gratification, Rote memory vs. Fun Learning.

Preferences of the Technology as an instructional media was indeed a very big help in the new generation learners but we must know as a teachers what is the appropriate use of it. We must also know when and how to limit these technologies in order for us to prevent our learners to become abusive and addicted to it.
