Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.
If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.
@polychrome Nah. Pinephones exist, and several free operating systems for them.
Agreed otherwise though. The term is old hat, much like "year of the linux desktop" also sounds really stupid and unaware.
