This page is a blog page, which is in response to Article 3 and offers a rant-like opposing view on the article. It appears this author has no specific interest in the subject and instead writes her blog on what she finds interesting, but has a lot to say about this article. Written in 2006, it is just as up-to-date as the article it discusses but offers no references (apart from the original article) or theory.
The author objects "strenuously to the suggestion that those 20 and under are somehow more “digitally native” than those of us who came to the internet/computers later in life and the difference between natives and immigrants is not early experience but a willingness to accept something new in their lives.
Furthermore, the author raises the fact that she is 31 and has used computers for 12 years, while her friend is 44 and has used them since he was 27. Therefore they may be "immigrants", but they have used computers since they first became accessible. She picks apart various parts of the article, calling the digital native a "digital naive" because of incorrect terminology that was used.
Therefore this author states that it's not about experiences of brain chemistry, it's about exploring, being changed by technology, and a desire to be connected online, making it a choice but they are "not limited because we're not 20."
