Modern kids are sometimes called “technology natives" because their earliest experiences – beginning at infancy and working straight through the crucial toddler years, when most of the brain’s infrastructure is laid down – have included interacting with digital media.

University of California Los Angeles neuroscientist Gary Small argues that these kids' brains have actually formed differently than the brains of "technology immigrants," who have begun interacting with digital technology later in life.
