"Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants" Prensky

I enjoyed this article however it made me questions what am I? Personally I do not feel like a digital native because I did not grow up with the technology nor do I feel that I am digitial immigrant because as technology became avaliable I learned to use it... I guess the make me a Digital Tweener? I see my grandparents who struggle to use technology and know they are digital immigrants and my much younger brother and sister are definetly digital natives.  I 'came along' as the technoloy evolved and started to learn it.  Depending on my mood or situation, I can edit papers on the computer or sometimes I like to print them out.  I still read but I use a Kindle to read (mostly becaue when I finish a book on the beach I can just download a new one and not have to leave the beach). So what am I?
