Those who know how to validate soft information vs. those who don’t
Those who know where to find information in new “hot” channels vs. those who don’t.
Those who understand the current culture of informal languages vs. those who don’t.
Those who know how to get information to travel to them vs. those who still chase it.
Those who have the knowledge and skills to create and re-mix digital media and those who don’t.
Those that understand learning is a continual process vs. those that view learning as an achievement.
