  1. Hello,
    The first carton, the father is talking about business with his son and the second carton the son is asking his mother about how he arrive in this world.
    These cartons have in common the "digital natives" they are young people, they were born with the digital tecnnology, the cartons wants to show how the children use all time the technology.
    I think everybody can to learn and use the new technology, if I want to lear I can.

  2. Sure Paula, this is the idea! We (you and me!) are in our thirties and we are considered "old generation", it's terrible!!!! As you said, everybody can! No matter your age! It's up to you! =)

    ALL OF US should be part of the 21st century...

  3. If you click on the last image (the one that says "There are no digital natives...") you go to an online critial article about the dichotomy digital natives/digital immigrants. It is authentic reading, I mean, it is not simplified for learners of English... but you can try to see how much you understand. Don't miss it!
