That is not a question of generation. Thats is not a question of localisation. That is not a question of white or colored. That is just a question of civilisation Even i your born in Dakar, you'll be registred in computer space. And even if your country don't have electronic registration, you'll be registred by someone else, for example a quaker genealogist Births, deaths, weddings, travels, work, entertainement... is there is something that have no inscription in the numeric space ? The digital worlds wrap the geographic space with various devices (computers, cellular phones...) tighter and tighter I don't like the term digital native/migrant. I prefer digiborigen : people who live in the clouds The clouds are a new social spaces. We can do there things that we cannot do in the old geographic space. And we are, the digiborigens, learning of to love, help, harm and hate in these clouds as we build them in an increasingly tight way We are all digital something.

They seek out new ways to optimize content creation, aggregation, dissemination and consumption. They constantly search for and seek out new bookmarklets, firefox plugins, google gadgets etc that will help them achieve this goal. This is requires a a cultural shit and different mindset. A young person who grew up in the web 2.0 does not necessarily have this drive...... I think one of the main characteristics of Digital Natives (regardless of age) is their passion of exploration.
