  • But the point is that these writers and researchers totally ignore or overlook people like me who were the earliest users and adapters, and are ourselves ‘natives’. Or more properly, we’re pioneers, since we’re the ones who built, tested, and worked the bugs out of many of these things. We were the people in the university computer labs, or in the military communications shops, who put this technology to real-world use, and, when we could, started bragging about it to our outside friends.

  A perspective on the net generation from a boomer who says the dichotomy between digital natives and digital immigrants is often overly simplified. He talks about a third category of "pioneers" who were early adopters and share more characteristics with natives than immigrants, regardless of their age.
