    Part 2 of the Prensky's 2001 articles on Digital Natives. This one focuses on scientific evidence to back up what he said in part one. It also includes this interesting quote about the attention span of digital natives, which seems to contradict other research on multi-tasking: "Their attention spans are  not short for games, for example, or for anything else that actually interests them. As a result of their experiences Digital Natives crave interactivity-an immediate response to their each and every action. Traditional schooling provides very little of this compared to the rest of their world (one study showed that students in class get to ask a question every 10 hours). So it generally isn't that Digital Natives can't pay attention, it's that they choose not to."
