I think we spend a lot of time encouraging adults to pick up and try new technology. Our teachers/parents are expected to stay a step ahead of our students in technology so we encourage adults to "play" with a device, new apps, or new sites and figure them out. This is a healthy mentality for adults to learn advancements in technology as most are adept at maintaining a sense of privacy and an understanding of appropriate content. We have been taught what is appropriate in the business world, and if its appropriate in the business world, it's appropriate in the digital world.
Students, however, blur those lines. Their business lives are their personal lives and therefore, also their digital lives. They have grown up with technology and the parameters of user responsibility are often times defined by what the technology is capable of or what their friends are doing with it, instead of what teachers and parents encourage them to use the technology for.
