The people of this world, especially today's youth, heavily rely on and engage in technology. With technology comes new ideas and processes that at first may be hard to understand, specifically if the person is from an older generation. Since today's youth was born into technology, most adults consider the youth to be "digital natives". Along with being native to technology and the media it produces, today's youth is also thought to be digitally literate. When someone is digitally literate they generally understand the processes and creation of this technology and how it functions. Due to the fact that technology has such an impact on our lives and the topic of digital natives is such a big debate, it has sparked some conversation on the question of whether or not youth are truly digital natives.

Technology has changed so many of the ways in which we live our lives, from the invention of the wheel to the advanced systems we use and take for granted everyday. Technology was once taboo in most house holds while people still clung to the idea that life was built on life experiences. Nicholas Carr stated in, Is Goggle making us stupid? "Back in the fourth century, BCE, Plato complained that writing (then a fairly new technology) was destroying peoples memory, yet he wrote dozens of books.
