Millennials think they learn more from tech than people

Inquisitive millennials are more likely to Google the answers to nagging questions rather than asking a human for help, according to results from a new survey
.

A Harris poll conducted by the nonprofit Growing Leaders
found 69% of people 18 to 34 years old said they think they learn more from technology than from people. That was the largest percentage among the 2,264 respondents — just 50% of baby boomers over 45 felt the same — and likely an indication that the younger Gen Z crowd feels similarly.

Tim Elmore, president of Growing Leaders, said the trend of younger people feeling more comfortable learning through screens is especially important in the world of education. If schools don't adapt and move to a more blended style of instruction, Elmore said, America's schools could see a growing disinterest in traditional education.

"I think higher education will be in trouble," Elmore told Business Insider, pointing to the rise of online learning and mounting college debt. He envisions younger generations enrolling less frequently in formal colleges having seen older siblings graduate with few job prospects and thousands of dollars in loans.

"They graduate from college, and now they've got $28,000 in debt and they're a barista at Starbucks, which they could've done before college," Elmore said.
