Survey : Digital Natives with a cause?
by pushpa — published Jun 08, 2010 — last modified Aug 04, 2011 10:35 AM — filed under: , , , , ,
This survey seeks to consolidate information about how young people who have grown up with networked technologies use and experience online platforms and tools. It is also one of the first steps we have taken to interact with Digital Natives from around the world — especially in emerging information societies — to learn, understand and explore the possibilities of change via technology that lie before the Digital Natives. The findings from the survey will be presented at a multi-stakeholder conference later this year in The Netherlands.
