I do consider myself a digital native. In other words, I do feel that I have been brought up around technology and therefore, I feel comfortable and competent using technology. I remember playing computer games on my family's desktop in the 1990s. In elementary school, I used the desktop computers to learn how to use Microsoft software, the internet, typing softwares, and to take reading quizzes. By middle school, I owned an iPod Nano and a cell phone. Throughout the years, new technology has emerged but I find that I can learn how to navigate the new technology quickly, unlike my parents who are over 50 and struggle to use their smart phones efficiently.

My dad is 80 years old and uses an iPhone. He learned excel at almost 70. Age need not be a barrier to learning. The way I see it, we either adapt or become dinosaurs.
