Tech-Savvy Students?

After reading Pepper's story about a student not knowing where to type the url address into a web browser, I'm reminded again that for all of the theorizing we do about how technologically advanced our students are, on the whole, we're often surprised when we find out the reverse. Aside from issues of access to technology and the sometimes prohibitive cost of certain tech devices, our students are also sometimes alternately savvy and naive about what they use and how they're using it.
