We millennials are technological natives, raised during an age of digital explosion. By the third grade we were already learning how to use computers as part of our school's curriculum. By middle school we were rapidly texting on our cell phones under our desks. The internet comes naturally to us, but to most of our parents it is a series of struggle and mystery.
