Digital Natives (pmah99)

A recent study by International Telecommunication Union indicates that Mexico is in sixth place among countries with the greatest number of “digital natives” in the world. The countries that preceded Mexico are China, United States, India, Brazil, and Japan.

In reality, what the study actually indicates is the number of people in each country born in the digital era. “Digital native” is a term made popular in 2011 by Marc Prensky, making an allusion to the way in which the population adapts to new technologies.

According to the study, these are the 10 countries with the most digital natives in the world:

  1. China: 75.2 million
  2. United States: 41.3 million
  3. India: 22.7 million
  4. Brazil: 20.1 million
  5. Japan: 12.2 million
  6. Mexico: 9.1 million
  7. Russia: 9.0 million
  8. Germany: 8.3 million
  9. Vietnam: 7.5 million
  10. United Kingdom 7.0 million
