Marc Prensky coined the term "digital native" in 2001 to describe those who have grown up with a constant interaction of technology, including television, video games, and the Internet (Prensky, 2001). For these people, many of them now in their twenties, life has always included the presence of screens--televisions, cell phones, iPods, video games, and computers. Additionally, digital natives tend to believe they can use many of these devices at the same time and do it very well (multitasking). For years, scientists and psychologists have believed that the most vital brain development takes place between birth and 6 years. Maria Montessori herself believed that major sensitive periods during the first 6 years include order, language, writing, and culture, and discussed sensitive periods of development in detail in "The Secret of Childhood" and "The Absorbent Mind". Studies have shown that the use of technology can interfere with one's understanding of the micro-muscle movements and associated behavioral cues. Media has brought an unparalleled access to information; however, children in today's world need adults who can balance the benefits of technology with its shortcomings. In this article, the author discusses how to create balance in the new age of technology. Suggestions for more balanced technology use are presented. (Contains 24 resources.)
