How the digital generation is different from its analog ancestor and whether they have different notions of privacy, community, and identity.

How is the generation born in the digital age different from its analog ancestors? Are those born digital likely to have different notions of privacy, community, identity itself? How do educators approach this generation to help prepare them for scholarship and for citizenship?
