The Internet-savvy ''kids'' whom Davidson lauds and wants professors to learn from arc roughly the same people Twenge describes in "An Am1y of One: Me." Will Davidson's caU for a nonhierarch.ical and student-centered education succeed if th.e students have been socialized info narcissism, as Twenge alleges? Does the Web actuaJJy promote the unc1itical selfabsorption of "generation m . e,'' or might it represent an anticl.Qre? Do the social media make people more social, or do they actualJy encourage psychological isolation? Does the [ntemet itself promote the idea that everyone wilJ be exceptional if they just develop self-esteem? How might Davidson respond to Twenge's argument?
