Digital native A digital native is a person who was born 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. Alternatively, this term can describe people born 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.[citation needed] 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. This term has been used in several different contexts, such as education (Bennett, Maton & Kervin 2008), higher education (Jones & Shao 2011) and in association with the term New Millennium Learners (OECD 2008).

Overview By Tom Rosenstiel and Amy Mitchell of the Project for Excellence in Journalism By several measures, the state of the American news media improved in 2010. After two dreadful years, most sectors of the industry saw revenue begin to recover. Among the major sectors, only newspapers suffered continued revenue declines last year—an unmistakable sign that the structural economic problems facing newspapers are more severe than those of other media. Beneath all this, however, a more fundamental challenge to journalism became clearer in the last year. News organizations — old and new — still produce most of the content audiences consume. In the digital space, the organizations that produce the news increasingly rely on independent networks to sell their ads. That data may be the most important commodity of all. In the 20th century, the news media thrived by being the intermediary others needed to reach customers. Meanwhile, the pace of change continues to accelerate.
Babies and iPhones: Is Calm Always Good? | The Calm Mom Sunday’s New York Times Style Section included a fascinating article entitled, “Toddlers’ Favorite Toy: The iPhone”. The article, well-written by Hilary Stout, wrote about how parents are using their iPhones to soothe and entertain their very young babies and toddlers. The very next day, I was out to lunch with a dear friend and her 19-month old baby. As our lunch drew to a close, and the little guy got fussy, out came the iPhone. So, okay Moms…I’ll give you this. But, does the calming effect outweigh the problems? Here are the Calm Mom’s thoughts: -Relying on an iPhone denies kids the opportunity to learn self-regulation & self-soothing skills: Babies have been around for way longer than iPhones. -We don’t know what technology does to very young brains: There is a lot of exciting research going on about the effect of technology on our brains. -Boundaries: Allowing your baby to play with your $300 iPhone communicates to your baby “what is mine, is yours.”
iPhone in the Baby Bag With 92% of American children under the age of 2 appearing in online pictures, the United States leads the way in new parents' use of social networking . But sites such as Facebook are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the technologies new parents have embraced. Imagine Katie, a composite sketch of a new mother of a 6-month-old infant who brings together observations of several of our patients and friends: Katie strolls through the neighborhood chatting on her cell phone with a friend and texts her husband to remind him to pick up fish and an eggplant for dinner. Later, while nursing on the park bench, she checks a nursing app to log the time of day and length of this breast-feeding. She also gets a question answered about storing her milk for when she returns to work. Soon, it's time for baby to take a nap. When she wakes up, she texts her husband to find out when he'll be home for dinner. Katie's story highlights many of the reasons why new parents use technology.
Study: 82 percent of kids under 2 have an online presence Add three more babies to the pool of those likely to have their pictures posted on the internet. Most children in the Western world have an online footprint by the age of 2, a study says In the U.S. 92 percent of 2-year-olds are pictured somewhere on the Web The security firm that commissioned the study worries about privacy risks for children (CNN) -- Children can't change their DNA, and now it seems they're inheriting another permanent feature from their families -- an online presence. Thanks to the ubiquity of photo-sharing websites like Facebook, 82 percent of children in 10 Western countries have a digital footprint before the age of 2, according to a study by internet security firm AVG. The U.S. led, with 92 percent of American children under 2 appearing in online pictures, the report said. New Zealand was a close second with 91 percent, followed by Canada and Australia with 84 percent. AVG's report indicates that it's not necessarily a child's mother who is doing the uploading.

This and other kids' books apps are redefining the way children are reading. There's a whole new way to read your kids to sleep these days — or to distract them while you are trying to get something done. Michel Kripalani is deeply invested in Dr. "Boy, she can navigate on that thing — it's incredible," Kripalani says. Kripalani began his career as a video game developer, and he doesn't consider himself an expert on reading. "As the app is reading the book, the individual words are highlighting," he explains, "so the child is getting an association between what they are hearing and the actual word that's being spoken at the time.
