a) The oldest digital native you know.
I would describe this person as a digital native as they are the person I (as a digital native) go to with help with my technology. When I had my first computer it was this person who set it up and taught me how to use it. In order to explain why this person is still a digital native in my own mind is to say they seem comfortable around technology. I believe the reason why many older people cannot grasp new media is because they are scared of the consequences and have no background knowledge of its capabilities. This may conclude that it is my subjects confidence that makes them so good with technology, and not their knowledge. Either way, for a person of this age to be seemingly better at technology than someone half their age makes them an honorary digital native in my mind.
