being native

There are 100s of examples of the digital immigrant accent. They include printing out your email (or having your secretary print it out for you – an even “thicker” accent); needing to print out a document written on the computer in order to edit it (rather than just editing on the screen); and bringing people physically into your office to see an interesting website (rather than just sending them the URL). I’m sure you can think of 1 or 2 examples of your own without much effort. My own favorite example is the “Did you get my email?” phone call.
