The millennial student... now the... The Millennial Instructor

Carl Berger reporting on annual surveys conducted over 20 years re adoption of learning technologies with staff and students. He has possibly identified a new category of Millennial Instructor - someone who perceives themselves to be adept, comfortable and proactive with technologies. Research charts academics and students more or less where we'd expect, but this new MI category might provide some useful insight. If it exists I wonder if peer mentoring is something that we should consider given that faculty declare they prefer to learn about technology from colleagues, even when 'experts' are available?
