Does this thesis make sense? Can you tell what it means?

Technology and education should, and does, overlap. Students use technology in their everyday life without a second thought. For example, we type our essays instead of writing them by hand, we write blogs for class, and we check our grades on VikingWeb. At the same time, however, we may not be as technologically literate as our elders believe we are. For instance, I still handwrite my notes from class and read my assignments out of a physical book rather than on the computer. While students may be more technologically literate than our predecessors, not all of us feel learned enough to be considered "technological natives." Our title isn't as drastic. Its more accurate to say we are somewhere between "technological natives" and "technological immigrants."
