This Surprising Map Shows Which Countries Have the Most 'Digital Natives'

Just over 13 percent of Americans are "digital natives," according to a new report from researchers at Georgia Tech and the International Telecommunication Union. If you're not familiar with it, that term describes "young people born around the time the personal computer was introduced and [who] have spent their lives connected with technology." These digital natives have never used typewriters (not out of necessity anyway), and are fuzzy on the difference between the White Pages and the Yellow Pages. Heck, some of them don't even know how to address an envelope. Yet insofar as the Internet is the future, so too are these digital natives.

According to the International Telecommunication Union's report "Measuring the Information Society," the U.S. fares pretty well in the race to have the most tech-savvy young people. Ninety-six percent of American millennials are digital natives (defined by ITU as young people age 15-24), as is roughly 13.1 percent of the overall U.S. population.
