Are You Shy?

The first generation to go from cradle to grave with in-home computers, faxes, and the Internet is a long way from adulthood. We will have to walt at least another 20 years to accurately assess shyness in the wake of the new electronic age. But to do so, we must find a group of infants--shy and non-shy--and follow them through their life, rather than observe different people, from different generations, in different periods of their lives. Only then will we see the course of shyness over a lifetime.
