//**Digital native** = A person for whom digital technologies already existed when they were born, and hence has grown up with digital technology such as computers, the Internet, mobile phones and MP3s.// //- [|Wikipedia]//

Some Background
Ron Mader: Presentations I made in New Zealand in 2007 set me on the road of understanding the new digital divide - that which separates the natives from the migrants. These presentations highlighted the value of the social web was well-received by the under 40 crowd who understood the value of the new interactive web as a critical tool in developing effective conservation and tourism. They, in turn, introduced me to the concept of 'Digital Natives' and afterward I began to find links to Generation Y.

Confused? I am. These terms draw a lot of naysayers. I find myself on more comfortable turf when I address the challenge of raising digital literacy. Here we find ourselves -- all of us -- on the learning curve. And if we can articulate outcomes we'd like to achieve, then becoming literate in the digital realm requires collaboration of the kind that connects us all (without having to identify as natives or migrants).

Migrants remember the 12 and 20 image rolls of film. Natives enjoy an all-you-can-photograph smorgasboard.

Teaching people - and particularly young people - how to take a lot of photos and deleting 90% is the challenge in the digital age of photography

Solutions
We recommend the creation of activities such as photo safaris that encourage information sharing among people of different ages and with different technical abilities.
