Digital Native

Categories: Tech

Remember rotary dial phones (we ask as we snicker)? How about bag phones? (Yep, that was really a thing.) If you’re a digital native, the answer is definitely "no way."

Digital natives have never known a world without technology. Why? They were born into it. And they embraced it as children. (Who needs a card catalog? The Internet is all they’ve ever known.)

That said, you should also know the term “digital immigrant.” That’s us old folks who had to learn technology as it emerged. We’re not quite as savvy, though we try.
