Digital native
I once had a friend who was a bit scared of computers so I helped her learn how to do one or two things for work using Word. She got really good at tables and stuff but had never really got to grips with the internet, not having access at home or work. Texting was her thing. A few months ago I got her internet connection set up at home. At first it was a bit of shock especially when the computer decided to hibernate. Isn't that something hedgehogs do? she exclaimed. When she finally got onto the computer having pushed her teenage daughters out the house, she bravely entered the world of the internet.
Well I can declare she is now a true digital convert. She googles things and wonders what life was like before the internet. And would you believe it she even blogs. You know who you are!
I on the other hand grew up writing basic programmes on the BBC computer. Apparently I am a digital native. That's probably why I am sitting here on a Friday evening with nothing better to do that log on.
