Dear 'DN proponents',

I find the term you promote very insulting to the very nature of my life, for I did not have any more than intermittent internet access till about 7 yoa, and even then I still do not have it in my pocket in the middle of nowhere as at 12 yoa (years of age). I am also autistic, and believe that there is no such thing as 'Generation X/Y/Z/BB/whatnot' but instead 'the Cohort of School starting late 2004' (in my case). School cohorts are a reliable way of saying 'generation SOMETHING of people'.

Dear self-titled 'Digital Natives'

Please reconsider the name by which you call your generation. It may be considered offensive.

Dear people who believe they have children to a world where they will always be jimmies:

They are born to the same world as you. They just 'move' to a different world where due to their age and acquaintance with that world's beings (doppelgengers of the person they represent, and the computers that give rise to them) they are essentially native.

I am really sorry I posted this here, but mustn't everybody see it?
