This is our generation. we were born into the digital world, and we grew up learning the skills to use in the digital world. We are truly the first generation of digital citizens, and all generations after us will also be digital citizens. Any generation before ours is concidered a digital immigrant. This is different from being a digital immigrant. A digital immigrant would be anyone who was introduced to technology during their lifetime. They were not raised on the computer, but still had to learn later in life.
