Digital Native

I'm a digital native with with a minor in anything that has pixels. Though I was already in Boy Scouts when the first dinosaurs rolled out of Silicon Valley I did manage to catch the high-tech wave. My ten year old brain had not yet begun a mass extinction of its excess neurons required to learn these gadgets. Luckily technology moved quite slow at first and gave me enough time to integrate before the training-wheels came off. Now technology moves so fast its got to be hard if you're just now immigrating.  

My dad, on the other hand, missed the boat. His high-tech neurons died with the sinking of the USS Arizona. He wasn't there during the bombing of Pearl Harbor but he did listen to it on the radio. He still, to this day,  dials 1 and then the number before he pushes send on his cell phone.
