In some ways, i can see how the digital native experiences the “natural progression” of technology. But I would consider here the social construction of technology theory. In this theoretical framework, maybe we impose underlying pressures to adapt to technology. For example, while on one hand we might reprimand digital natives for being addicted to their iPhones, we might just as equally deem someone “out of touch” or “not with it” if they don’t interact with tech.

Living far from my parents and sometimes not being able to understand their instructions over the phone, it is easier to look up a youtube video on how to cook something or do something. The internet in this sense, I feel is a positive influence for our generation and helps us discover and learn things. Of course this also adds into the point that we are visual learners but at the same time, I think for anyone it is so much easier to watch a video of someone doing something then to read confusing instructions.

I rely on youtube as my main resource when I need to leant something like changing the oil in my car to formatting Microsoft word to MLA format, and even learning how to cook. Before this I had not heard of the term digital native but I totally understand now. I am proud to say that I am digital native and I use what I know and my resources to encourage others to be digital natives as well. When I am at work at the Apple store I am constantly teaching people how to use their devices. One resource I tell my clients about is youtube and let them know I use it whenever I need to learn something visually. This was a great read and I will be checking out more of their videos, thanks for sharing! – Felipe

I’ve never seen “How to Adult” so maybe I should look at how to file taxes this year… Anyways, I think lifestyle channels like them and even beauty gurus like heyclaire and clothesencounters (I watch them because of my girlfriend, just to clear that up) present something that speaks to “coming of age online.” I learned a lot of things from youtube videos that normally parents would teach their children: how to tie a tie, how to cook rice/pasta, how to go about a job interview, just to name a few. However, I don’t really see this as a problem, and maybe in this regard, being a “digital native” isn’t half bad.

I mean, we could feel it out and make our own mistakes and whatever, but with the internet we don’t even need to. It’s sad the more I think about it. The fact that there’s an easily accessible manuel for how to do things eliminates potential for crazy experiences and even learning from our mistakes to an extent.
