If I had to be labeled as anything I would think I could be classified a  Digital Tom Bombabdil. At 50 I am a geezer but since I have been using the tech as soon as it was born, sometimes before, I have been using and part  of it longer than most so called "natives". The idea of there being a "native" in this space is another one of those times that barriers/titles are erected where none should be. We are all shades of competent, passionate and prolific in this and other areas of life.  Being born to a certain date does not make one any more or less those things in art, science, tech, music, craft, etc etc etc. Sure you might have better access but what you do with that, I hold, is not bound by your incept date.  Participation and passion for those things will be the true tell.

I know many younger folks who are brain dead to all but the techs that stimulate the lizard pleasure centers of their brain. Consumer sheeple who trend on life style pastures clueless to what the wide world of the intertubes really has to offer. 

I know folks as old as sin who make such use of the intertubualr offerings that I am left in humble awe of their ability to constantly adsorb the awesumsauce. 

So yea, age…feh. Use makes the truth.
