Personally I don't like this term at all and think it is unnecessary. While working on my assignment I came across a blog entry by Courtney Hunt discussing her 12 hopes for 2012:Enhanced Adoption of Digital Technologies.
I like this hope of Courtney's.
The false assumption of the inherent superiority of “Digital Natives” and “Millennials” in leveraging new technologies will cease to dominate people’s thinking. We will realize that we all have the opportunity – and ability – to be as digitally proficient as we want to be. As we all become more digitally proficient, we will once again realize that substance (e.g., functional and organizational knowledge, experience, wisdom, emotional intelligence, communication skills) is much more important than form (i.e., specific digital skills) – and far more difficult to acquire!
