The interactions between technology-wise children and their parents or other adults is raw material for cartoonists. I am not sure whether “digital natives” is a category that I would use but it is popular. After the cartoons, take a look at the at the article from The Chronicle of Higher Education that strips away the notion of “digital natives.” Enjoy!
Finally, an article about current college students, “Confronting the Myth of the ‘Digital Native,’ ” gets at the holes in the knowledge bank of older, supposedly more technologically sophisticated, students.

Hi Larry, Hope you are well? Hope to see you in August when I am in Palo Alto.
I have never bought into the “digital native” nonsense

I described Prensky’s phrase as “one of the most pervasive and pernicious concepts in this whole field:” at the ICICTE conference and in a paper I published in 2006. It genuinely dismays me that 12 years later, it’s equally vacuous progeny, “digital literacy” is just as widely and thoughtlessly pursued.
Thanks, Joe, for your comment.

Dear Larry,
I work for an aeronautical company, and we’re having some interesting thoughts regarding the way digital natives pilots (and future pilots!) will have to be trained. Do you think I could use one of the cartoons of your website for the introduction of my presentation of our coming soon conference? I would be especially interested in using the one of the children looking at a webcast from outside his classroom… :o)
Kind regards
I will reply by email.
