As a parent of four children, ages 16 - 20, I have to say you "nailed it" on your description of the behaviors and values of these people.
Their collaborative work style, enhanced by technology, is a great strength. They take great pleasure in both searching for information and in sharing their opinions.
I agree that their weakness on facts is not a bad thing. The ability to access facts when necessary frees up their learning time for more important things: like understanding the concepts of globalization, economics, or science, rather than using their time to memorize dates or other facts that are easily found elsewhere.
Nice article!
