For the "true" Digital Native, information has become entirely malleable. For Generation X, the Baby Boomers, and the countless other generations that preceded this era of unprecedented connectivity, facts were simply facts. Albums were albums. Advertisements were advertisements. Art was art. Long before Wikipedia, encyclopedias were concrete, unchanging entities. Thanks to social software and a breakdown of traditional cyber barriers, user-generated content has become the norm for much of cyberspace. Where once information was stuck and unchanging, the new Internet and the Web2.0 evolution have provided an infrastructure for end-users to tag, add, edit, share, blog, create, and mash. According to a study by Pew Internet, more than half of all teens have created content on the Internet (not to mention one-third of adult Internet users as well).

Inspiring Narratives From a Culture of ParticipationVideo of the MonthUnfortunately, the Digital Natives wiki currently does not allow embedded video. Please check back soon! |
Narrative: Creativity and the Digital NativeTrevor looks like an average guy in his late teens. But recently heâs found, as heâs becoming famous, that he gets a lot more attention from girls at his high school. Turns out, heâs one of hottest hands on Revver, a new online video-sharing service. And heâs even making a little bit of money for his troubles, which further enhances his sense of well-being. Trev specializes in mash-ups. He started by digitizing parts of his favorite TV shows and posting them to YouTube, but he found that they kept getting taken down and heâd have to create new user accounts to keep uploading files. Plus, other people were posting regular TV all over the web, and he didnât see the point after a while. Then he got a Mac for his birthday. It had the coolest suite of editing software. He started to shoot a bit of digital video, but mostly he would find clips other people made online. Heâd stitch them together on his Mac, overlay a music track he liked, and post them online. He called himself the MashUpKing. Motivation: Why Digital Creativity?For the "true" Digital Native, information has become entirely malleable. For Generation X, the Baby Boomers, and the countless other generations that preceded this era of unprecedented connectivity, facts were simply facts. Albums were albums.

Thanks to social software and a breakdown of traditional cyber barriers, user-generated content has become the norm for much of cyberspace. Where once information was stuck and unchanging, the new Internet and the Web2.0 evolution have provided an infrastructure for end-users to tag, add, edit, share, blog, create, and mash. According to a study by Pew Internet, more than half of all teens have created content on the Internet (not to mention one-third of adult Internet users as well). [1]
