I was born before 1980 (two decades before!). i am well aware that there is a large part of my generation that is not 'techno-savvy' and are in fact technophobes, but I cannot subscribe to the view of a 'net generation'. Partly, this is because effectively, my generation gave us; Bill Gates, Bert Woszniac, Steve Jobs - hardly technophobes!
I have also dealt with and learned about computers and computer technology from 1977 onward, and I find that there will always be some truth in the feeling that the generation that follows 'ours' (whichever we belong to) will be able to do with ease things that we did with difficulty. This is getting closer to philosophy than education, which was not the intention, but as a final point; my friend's son, 21, born 1994, always asks his dad (born 1960) for help and advice on anything to do computers, on the basis that 'he has studied it for longer'.

The OU and others have over the last decade done substantial research that shows Digital Natives to be nonsense. There's more in my OU Student Blog here from when I did H800. And several posts since building on this. The OU ought to have removed this from the module. Prensky sensationalises and has no credentials to be writing on learning.
