This generation has been inundated with video channels, e-learning, webinars and smart boards. They have always had instant access to information, maps, movies, music, shopping as well as their educational material. Technology is not a tool to them; it is an ordinary part of life. They are from the age of Uber, skis, Airbnb, and of course, most daily actions through some form of social media. - Mental Health
