Answer:
The term digital native describes a young person who has grown up in the digital age, in close contact with computers, the Internet, and video game consoles, and later mobile phones, social media, and tablets.[1] The term is often used to refer to millennials, Generation Z, and Generation Alpha; the latter two are sometimes described as distinct "neo-digital natives",[2][3] "true" digital natives,[4] or "digital integrators".[5]
Digital natives are distinguished from digital immigrants, people who grew up before the advent of the Internet, came of age in a world dominated by print and television, and acquired familiarity with digital systems as an adult.[6] These terms are often used to describe the digital generation gap in terms of the ability of technological use among people born after 1980 and those born before.[7]
