Need for clearing[edit]

Last chapters of the arcticle feels a little bit chaotic as there are big walls of text without much logical structure. They feel like they would benefit from some redactional work. Sorry for just stating that and not doing, I can't do it myself as of now, but hopefully someone would find an inspiration for that.

There is some real nonsense in here! "Because many digital immigrants are used to a life without digital technology, they can sometimes be at variance with digital natives in their view of it.[citation needed] The everyday regimen of work-life is becoming more technologically advanced with improved computers in offices, more complex machinery in industry, etc. This can make it difficult for digital immigrants to keep pace, which has the potential to create conflict between older supervisors and managers and an increasingly younger workforce."

Coining the term[edit]

Hello,

I don't know whether this will be of interest to Wikipedia in terms of who originally coined the term, "Digital Native," but I believe it was me in 1997, and its first use in public was for the domain I registered for the term in 1998. You can see the first release of the website here: https://web.archive.org/web/19981206120615/http://www.digital-native.com/.

As you can see, the original website is likely culturally insensitive by today's standards, and I did upgrade it to be more mindful and professional as I matured (http://www.digital-native.com). I intended it to mean essentially what everyone took it to mean: people who consider "digital" to be their native environment, but I was also applying it to myself and my little consulting biz.

At any rate, feel free to mention this if you think it adds to the history of the term. Thanks for all you do to provide relevant, truthful information to the world. I support Wikipedia whenever I can.
