  • Don Tapscott's coining of the Digital Immigrant / Native is perhaps the best current analogy for growing up digital. I would certainly agree children seem more adept at finding and manipulating electronic data than many of us pre-Internet "immigrants".

    The more important question is whether children are more proficient at synthesizing information (developing informed opinions) as a result of their technical savvy? I'm not sure the research would support that.

  • I don't think so, The Brain is its own Tech.
