I think the main idea is that words like "tech-native" are really just weasel-words that can be used as a post-hoc justification for rejecting someone.
If my first immersion in tech was BASIC on a PDP-8 in the 70's when I was 12, does that make me tech-native or not?

- dragonsky67 7y agoDepends upon how you define it. I think most people who use the term tech native and digital native are referring to people who grew up with social media. If you are looking for somebody to do your social media campaign, then go with the "tech native". If you are looking for somebody to develop the next blockbuster social media platform, maybe you will need somebody who has done time in the trenches learning how to develop robust software.
