Digital Native
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
A person who grew up in a world where digital technology was already a normal part of daily life. In culture, the term is useful but often oversimplified, since growing up around technology does not automatically imply deep technical literacy.
In plain English: Someone who grew up with digital technology as a normal part of life.
Example: "Calling students digital natives turned out to hide real skill gaps, because comfort with apps was not the same thing as understanding privacy or troubleshooting systems."
