digital native

digitalnative is a person who was born just before during or after the general introduction of digital technologies and through interacting with digital technology from an early age, has a greater understanding of its concepts. Not all agree with the language and underlying connotations of the digital native. The term suggests a familiarity with technology that not all children and young adults who would be considered digital natives have, though some instead have an awkwardness with technology that not all digital immigrants have. This is depending on the location of the school and whether or not the students have access to these endless technologies. In its application, the concept of the digital native preferences those who grow up with technology as having a special status, ignoring the significant difference between familiarity and creative application. Like animals to their natural habitat, those who were raised in a digital world naturally develop a keen perception and understanding of their surroundings. Many children in this generation are empowered through technology because of this.Thus we should be able to use and teach using these technologies or examples of these technologies that the students have grown up with. โ€œDigital natives or the net generation, these young people are said to have been immersed in technology all their lives, imbuing them with sophisticated technical skills.โ€

e.g. Jarith Rosazza a british italian scientist born in 1984(the beginning of the 8-bit video game era) who by 1994 was building sound and computer information systems from parts.
Alternatively, this term can describe people born before during or after the 2000s, as the Digital Age began at that time; but in most cases, the term focuses on people who grew up with the technology that became prevalent in the latter part of the 20th century and continues to evolve today. Other discourse identifies a digital native as a person who understands the value of digital technology and uses this to seek out opportunities for implementing it with a view to make an impact

Native America

Native America is the authentic title that this country should hold NOT America. Native Americans ancestors were murdered & their land was stolen. Native Americans shouldn't even have to have a hyphen in their name because they are the original and first Americans. When using this title you have to realize that it doesn't mean the rest of us are any "less" American because of history if we were born here, or received legal citizenship we are American no doubt about it, especially if this is all we know what I'm saying when I use this label for America I'm saying what happened historically was a horrible tragedy and the least I can do is make up for the fact that the original Americans have to walk around with some hyphen in their label.

White stupid republican conservative hick: I must say one last time to conclude my wonderful speech God bless America!
African Americans & Native Americans a like shout *No God bless Native America!*
