‘Digital natives’ … the concept that refuses to die

  • Summary

  • Pekka Mertala (University of Oulu) talks about a new exhaustive analysis of nearly 1900 articles that charts the evolving use of the ‘digital native’ concept in academic literature.

    We talk about the history of the idea of ‘digital natives’, why the persistence of the idea is damaging, and how we need to actively campaign against its future use.

    ** this is the final episode of Season One of ETS ... we will return in September! **
