After looking through Chapter 1, I actually got annoyed with his writing. Yes, I agree that we are possibly the greatest generation and our technology has revolutionized the world, but I almost feel like he takes this too far. I hated Bauerlein, but this guy is just kind of annoying. The chapter sort of bored me. But on the bright side Tapscott gave credit where credit was due.

This timeline just shows how our generation has been effecting the world as a whole. Take notice that close to half the page is full of inventions that were introduced in the 1990's or later. Most of the inventions in the last 20 years have revolutionized our understanding of medicine, made world networking possible and allowed others to benefit educationally from our discoveries.
Here is the timeline:
