Abstract
It is now more than four years since the term 'Google Generation' appeared in the popular media and made its way into the speeches of politicians. Born after 1993, this group entered the world of the internet and honed its literacy skills at the keyboard of MySpace, Facebook and BeBo. Generally, the term refers to a group of people who automatically use the internet as their first reference point for information.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
