Amid all the discussions about generations, millennial and otherwise, there is one in whose existence I truly believe based on experiences with our children. This is the ‘so-not-you generation’ 😉 And hey look at this ….

> A friend has two children aged 11 and 16\. He explains: “The latest thing in Surrey right now is downloading high-pitched tones that only children can hear \[the 17kHz “Mosquito”\] on to their mobiles, Bluetoothing them around, and then starting up a cacophony in lessons – they can hear it and double up in agony, but their teacher can’t.” It’s a metaphor for the adult/child gap: the children can recognise what the grownups can’t. \[[The kids are alright online | Technology | Guardian Unlimited Technology](https://technology.guardian.co.uk/weekly/story/0,,2075529,00.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]
