Digital Natives can be defined as a person born during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from birth. These are the kids whom pictures were posted all over Facebook and Instagrams when they were born. These are the kids that were giving iPads at the age of 1. Digital Natives are the kids that are provided smartphones at the age of 6.
