  “This book confirms my observations that the digital generation thinks differently than any previous generation, and is changing the way we all think, work, and purchase.”

  “Already dated a little (before Twitter) as the digital world changes fast. Helps to see how digital natives think, search and use the Internet and Web 2.0 tools.”

  “Born Digital is giving me greater insight into why today's Millennials - those born since 1982, are so different than myself - a Baby Boomer. The book talks about the positives and negatives of today's digital generation, how they are naturally equipped to communicate, learn, filter information, and search for answers to complex questions. They are independent learners, yet need a lot of uncharted guidance in a digital world. Boomers and X'ers' need to get with it to figure out new ways to teach, communicate, and develop environments that engage digitals' in the classroom. - Mr. B”

  “Describes issues facing Digital Natives (identity, dossiers, privacy, safety, quality, overload)... these are the issues digital Natives must wrestle with, and that adults (teachers and parents) must face... "we gotta help our DN figure out how to deal with these issues cuz they ain't goin away."
  
  Also describes some of the characteristics of DN (creators, pirates, aggressors, learners, and activists)”
