Today digital-device-outfitted Millennials comprise the majority of university students. Concern over these digital natives' tendency to perform lower than expected as a group in college after completing a commendable high school experience, has some eyeing character traits as a possible culprit. Conversely, university faculties are comprised primarily of Baby Boomers and older members who grew up in lower-tech, lesser-interactive-media environments. Higher education institutions have invested a lot of resources into facilitating the integration of digital technologies and best practices into the instructional processes, but how far has the professorial "Me" generation really advanced in comparison to our studious "Like" generation?
