Digital Immigrant/Digital Native

After reading Prensky's articles on the subject of Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants, I think that I would, for the most part, fall in to the former category. Although I did not have a personal computer at home until the age of around ten, I do vividly remember working on computers in school from about the age of seven. In some ways though, I am a Digital Immigrant, but only in some areas, such as cell phones. I have only recently purchased my own cell phone, so I have much to learn about them, but my knowledge of other techonologies and the troubleshooting skills I've learned with them, will most likely help me if I ever encounter problems with my phone.
I agree with Prensky's assertion that we are teaching children the wrong way. It is hard for a student to learn when instructed with terminology that is not native to them, and vice versa for the instructors. I think that a lot of the problems that arise in education today come from an unwillingness, on the part of the instructor, to "get with the times." It may be harder for people already set in their ways to learn something new, but it isn't fair to ask the younger generation to adapt to old ways that are slowly becoming obsolete. It is almost the same as asking someone to only learn and speak in Latin, a language that hardly anyone uses anymore.
In response to those who have thought that the younger generation is dumb, I think it is easy to dismiss what one doesn't understand. I think that if many of the people in the older generation truly understood how much troubleshooting goes into education with technology, they would see that the younger generation is intellegent. They are also very good problem solvers because with technology, one must be able to find creative ways to work around any obstacle that might arise.
