“Digital native(数字土著)" is used to describe the generation of people who grow up at the age of technology, including computers and the Internet.

The idea of "digital native" came from an article to explain Prensky’s opinion on why today's teachers are having trouble teaching their students. Prensky says that young people today are speaking a digital language, while teachers are speaking an old language—they don't adapt themselves to the new technology. As a result, Prensky calls for a change in their teaching ways.

Digital natives are comfortable with technology and computers, and they consider technology to be a basic and necessary part of their life. Most teenagers and children in developed countries are digital natives because they mainly communicate and learn through computers, social networking services and texting.

Prensky's research shows that those who have all their life open to modern information technologies do really think, learn and understand the world differently from their fathers. Based on his own experience in working with students and educators, Prensky later created a concept that he calls “digital wisdom” to change the way to teach the digital students.

While the idea of digital natives has become popular among educators and parents, in business the digital natives were considered as a new and possible way to increase marketing. Many strategies have set out to catch the attention of digital natives to sell new goods. In recent years, more and more money has been earned from digital natives. And in the future, digital natives promise a bigger and bigger market.
