The article by Marc Prensky is in line with our culture. I wonder why there is no mention of the socio-economic divide that is aligned with the accessibility of technology for those among us that go without. Sure many are fortunate to be able to use technology but there are many that have no access and are not growing up speaking the language

I think that is a great question that you posed about Marc Prensky's article. However, I think that it is most likely that a vast majority of househols have some form of technology--rather it be a TV, DVD player, video game console, computer, or even a cell phone. And for those households with absolutely NO technology, most schools spend a little time with some form of technology each day. Every classroom I have been into in the past few years has had at least one computer, along with access to a large computer lab. I am not saying you are wrong in questioning his generalized statement, I just think that most children do fall under the Digital Natives categories, some are just more involved in technology than others, possibly due to accessibilty.
