Suppose you were curious about people's views regarding instant messaging and how it has affected the lives of Americans
Would the age of the individuals whose opinions you asked
matter? Thinking about the concept of a cohort, describe how instant messaging might tend
to be viewed by individuals who are 12 years old, 30 years old, and 70 years old.
What will be an ideal response
Students should affirm that age matters in this case. Specific views will vary, but
students should demonstrate an understanding of the importance of historical
context. For instance, 70-year-olds grew up without computers, 30-year-olds grew
up using computers for a much more limited number of tasks, and 12-year-olds have
grown up using the computer as a means of communication.
