Abstract
The term digital natives denotes individuals born between 1982 and 2002, who some researchers argue have an innate proficiency with technology. This basic qualitative study examined the technology use of digital natives, seeking to understand how they create meaning from their technology use. The data collected was comprised of one-on-one interviews with the participants. This study used Holland et al.’s (1998) figured world construct in its analysis, finding that the participants used technology to mediate personal interests, while exhibiting high levels of reflection.
