Quote from the article: Present Shock
Teens are living a new presentist, non-linear narrative, as Douglas Rushkoff notes in his new book, Present Shock: When Everything Happens Now. This is most evident in how teens consume and watch media: through mash-ups, "cutscenes" on YouTube, reality TV and gaming. Teens are taking over the narrative, becoming "the equivalent of storytellers. Snowboarders score their own paths down a slope, while skateboarders reinterpret the urban landscape as an obstacle course." Teens are turning to "computers and games to choose their own adventures and find their own answers." Rushkoff goes on to note: "Which flashing screen we choose to answer often means less about whom or what we want to engage with than who or what we want to be, ourselves, in that moment. We're in the game, all right, but playing on many different levels at once." This is the new digital code that young people are growing up with. Yet school functions in a linear fashion, with clearly demarcated lines of progression from one grade level to the next and one assignment to the next. While kids are able to create their own narrative outside of school, they find themselves having to code switch back to school. In schools, tension arises between digital presentism and linear learning approaches. Essentially, there is a struggle over who controls the narrative -- the student or the teacher. Delete the scoop?
