Digital Natives is a term used to describe individuals who were born after 1980 and who have lived their entire life in the presence of easy access to large scale data networks via the Internet, easy access to computing through personal computers, and wide spread communications via cellular phones. These Digital Natives are entering college and rapidly joining the US workforce. Understanding how they view their life goals and objectives will have a profound impact on the way we educate them and how they can be integrated effectively into society. This award provides travel support travel for US participants to a research workshop on Digital Natives. The workshop will take place at KAIST (Korean Advanced Institute for Science and Technology) in Daejeon, South Korea, 4-6 November 2009.The workshop will characterize our current understanding of Digital Natives and their potential impacts on culture, commerce and society at local and global levels. Interactions in the workshop will serve to frame a research agenda that could serve as a basis for future proposals that study the phenomena around Digital Natives in depth. The workshop will foster opportunities to exchange and share knowledge among invited thought leaders and facilitate identification of leading researchable questions to help satisfy knowledge gaps that will be identified through the workshop. The workshop will expose participants to an internationally diverse set of perspectives on intellectual topics around Digital Natives. This diversity will broaden and strengthen the intellectual capabilities of US researchers who attend the workshop.

“数字原住民”是一个术语，用来描述1980年以后出生的人，他们一生都生活在通过互联网轻松接入大规模数据网络、通过个人电脑轻松接入计算、通过移动电话广泛传播通信的环境中。这些数字原住民正在进入大学，并迅速加入美国的劳动力大军。了解他们如何看待自己的人生目标，将对我们教育他们的方式以及他们如何有效地融入社会产生深远的影响。该奖项为参加数字原住民研究研讨会的美国参与者提供旅行支持。该研讨会将于2009年11月4日至6日在韩国大田的韩国科学技术院（KAIST）举行。研讨会将介绍我们目前对“数字原住民”的理解，以及它们在地方和全球层面对文化、商业和社会的潜在影响。研讨会上的互动将有助于构建一个研究议程，该议程可以作为未来深入研究数字原生代现象的建议的基础。研讨会将为受邀的思想领袖提供交流和分享知识的机会，并促进确定主要的可研究问题，以帮助填补将通过研讨会确定的知识空白。研讨会将向与会者展示有关数字原住民的知识主题的国际多元化视角。这种多样性将扩大和加强参加研讨会的美国研究人员的智力能力。
