Born Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives is a book by John Palfrey and Urs Gasser exploring the consequences of the wide availability of internet connectivity to the first generation of people born to it, who Palfrey and Gasser refer to as "digital natives". Issues addressed include shifts in the concept of identity, privacy, content creation, activism, and music piracy.
Born Digital has been called "a landmark sociological study of today's early adults."[1] Born Digital was also reviewed in Science[2] and the Washington Post[3]. Library Journal named Born Digital one of its top Science and Technology books for 2008, the only computer science book named to the prestigious list.[4][5] Two reviews in the British press (The Guardian and the Independent) have also compared the book with Nicholas Carr's The Shallows.[6][7]
The book has also been criticized for its use of the term "digital natives," among other things.[8]
