Don Tapscott "Growing up Digital" Don Tapscott: Discovery Learning Is the New Higher Learning. Encyclopedias, record labels and publishers were once in the business of producing unique content that generated big revenues. All are being bludgeoned by the digital age that brought abundance, mass participation, democratized production and the rise of a new delivery channel -- the Internet.

Research shows that because of this, young people think differently. Don Tapscott: Four principles for the open world. Don Tapscott - Macrowikinomics - full show.
