Homo Digitalis: The Digital Native
Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast.
They like to parallel process and multi-task. They prefer their
graphics before their text rather than the opposite. They
prefer random access (like hypertext). They function best
when networked. They thrive on instant gratification and
frequent rewards. They prefer games to ‘serious’ work.
