The Digital native is anyone younger than 25 (in 2006) that was born in the digital age. The digital immigrants are the older generation that was not. Neuroscientists now say that there is a physical difference in the brains of these two categories.

Also: The Digital natives have CPA, Continues Partial Attention. Digital natives call, send text messages and pictures, play games, download music, and watch commercials all at the same time.  

 
 

Comment:

If there is really such a ting a CPA, how will we feed information to those participants at meetings and conferences? How will we keep their fragmented attention?

Will we have to do lots of different things mixed together. Combining voting, presenting, on line brainstorming, collaboration technology, combined with an electronic networking badge and simultaneous breakout sessions?
