The myth of the digital native (20 Jun 2004)
In my own writing (Owen 2004) I recognise that any profound analysis of socio-cultural change, of the seamless web that weaves the ways we live with the tools we use, will change how we think, how we learn, what we may think and what we may learn. As Prensky suggests this may not be incremental, however it is also situated in diversity rather than dichotomy - and it is a lot less technologically deterministic. One of the slogans of this age is mass-customisation - the notion that we might be able to provide and sustain diversity for those who encounter digital technology in many diverse ways.
