Week 9/10- The Oldest Digital Native I know

I would say that the oldest digital native I know would be my Brother's girlfriend, she is nearly 25 years old and knows more about computers than I do. She studied Media at a London University and is very good at photography and often uses Photoshop and other software to edit photos. She inhibits every part of Prensky's definition of a Digital Native, she has grown up with digital technology and she uses it everyday.



She uses Facebook almost daily, and checks her email, she also uses her mobile phone a significant amount. She often downloads tv programmes and has a blog of livejournal, which is a classic expression of the digital age. people like to share their feelings with complete strangers. She is what Prensky coined as a digital native because she grew up around the time that the dhift in technology happened I would probably say her age group were the first to realise the change in technology. She shares the digital natives accent, and I would say that she is probably even more of a digital native than me.
