Selwyin (2008) & Selwyn (2011)

Visible to anyone in the world
Selwyn's (2008) views have not changed substantially, but I also read and compared this to Selwyn (2011).
It seems to me that Selwyn with the combination of these two papers manages to show that the 'net generation' is a myth, in many respects, and as Judd & Kenndey point out (2010, p.630);
“There is strong evidence that multitasking has a negative impact on memory encoding, which has clear implications for learning outcomes” (Judd and Kennedy, 2010, p. 630)
