The Age of the Digital Native or M-tiger
A The internet is a 'natural' space for young people. It is fully integrated into their lies and is as
commonplace for the vast majority as walking down their local high street. It is the first place that many of
them will go to search for information and provides unparalleled opportunities for communicating and
engaging with others, The fact that young people can interact, maintain their anonymity and compare
information sources empowers them. It can give them a sense of purpose and control, especially at difficult
and challenging times in their lives. At such times, feelings of being in control may on occasion be
misplaced and can lead to risk of exposure to unwanted danger. However, the vast majority of young
people are able to minimise risk through cross-checking information sources against one another.
B Negotiating the vast amount of information available on the internet presents its own challenges. The
ability to locate appropriate information quickly and which is in a language and format that a young person
can relate to is not always easy. Equally, as young people's needs have changed so too have their
expectations of how they should be able to interact with individuals, organisations and companies.
C Young people today use a variety of digital means to communicate and interact with others at the same
time - a mobile phone, a television, a laptop - to build very complex and deep 'tapestries' of connectivity to
one another and internet locations. Their life experience and the context in which they use the media
inevitably contain many differing behaviours and emphases. At a general level they are often labelled in a
variety of ways, the most established terms being 'Digital Natives' or perhaps 'M-Agers' (short for rivlobile
Agers'). The implication in these terms is that this group has grown up surrounded by digital media with
access to computers, the inferno, mobile phones and digital video games from pre-school age. The Digital
Native generation are young people, aged 16 to 24. The internet is a key part of young people's lives today
- it is completely natural to them. It is so much a part of them that they can be said to be living hybrid lives,
combining the physical and virtual in a seamless network. of communication, information, entertainment
and sharing.
D For the vast majority of young people, the digital world is a far from isolating experience. It extends
reach and connectivity, building on physical or close relationships as well as providing opportunities to
interact and build friendships with people who are not geographically close to them. Young people
associate the internet with a strong sense of community and as a place where similar people can meet and
share together. It is likely that young people have far wider and more varied support communities than
previous generations had.
E They are the 'ever on! group. They demand fast and immediate access to both information and friends
with the Internet ensuring their friends are available whenever and wherever they need them. As access to
the Internet becomes eve more mobile this trend will continue. Digital Natives are not just different to their
parents in using digital media in a natural and hybrid way.
F They are often characterised as being visually literate and as having highly developed visual-spatial
skills. Indeed, it has been argued that through this age group we are moving toward a more visual right
brain-orientated society with an emphasis on 'cieators and meaning makers' and that young people
represent the vanguard. They are experiential, shift their attention from one task to another with great
rapidity, are highly digitally literate (in how they use the media) and are well connected in a social context.
Importantly, whilst older groups may judge online against an ideal of face-to-face communication
(although this is changing), young people evaluate against a wide range of options including instant
message, chat, phone, SMS and face-to-face according to their communication needs. These might range
from immediacy, message complexity, mobility to cost, privacy, or embarrassment.
G This is a response to both the simple presence and availability of technology and to social and
environmental change. In combination it demonstrates how young people use today's tools and
communication opportunities to connect to the world and to establish and maintain their identities.
Although there is much debate, it should be considered that this virtual communication and connectivity is
not necessarily to the detriment of more established physically rooted behaviours. Rather, it represents the
degree to which, particularly this group, lives hybrid lives - lives that combine digital access arid virtual
communication into their physical lives.
