Digital Native

    I am not really sure how I fit into the category of "digital native" as I really an bad with technology. Sure growing up I used it, but if I didn't know how to do something I hadn't done before, I wouldn't be able to do it at all. It took me until I was in middle school to learn how to set up a gaming system that attaches to the tv and even now I call the the HDMI port/cord the HGMI port/cord. On the other hand, while I still struggle with learning new technology, once I get a lesson in how to use it I can do tasks fairly well. At the very least I know how to use different messaging apps, word/ppt, and maybe just a little bit of the adobe suite. 

    My grandpa (who is in his 80's and needs hearing aids) is defiantly not a digital native. He really is trying his best to learn how to use technology, but he doesn't know how to do regular non Facebook messenger messaging and struggles a lot with get his portal to work between him and his sister in Washington. My mom often has to help him with his devices and she comes to me afterward and we have a little laugh about some of his problems like understanding verification texts
