The internet, scientists suspect, may be re-wiring our brains. Already there's an age gap between digital natives - those who grew up using digital equipment - and digital immigrants, who came to computers and cell phones late in life.

Which are you?

1

How often do you meet your friends and how do stay in touch?
- We arrange meetings once a week by letters, and when the day comes I walk over to their house.
- Me and my friends from Second Life spend night and day with each other.
- I call my friends spontaneously and we meet in a cafe.
- I've got IM installed on my computer, so I chat with them all day.
2

Do you listen to music very often?
- I have a discman, an MP3 player and most of my music stored on my computer.
- Music is so, like, last century! I watch a lot of videos on my iPhone, though.
- No, the three tenors have become increasingly expensive to listen to in concert, and my gramophone died 20 years ago.
- Yes, I have a tape recorder and a walkman. Sometimes I use my new CD player, too.

How do you get your food?
- I call the pizza service - their number is saved on my cell phone.
- I only have to use a keyboard shortcut and ten minutes later the hot pizza will pop out my CD drive.
- I always try new recipes from my large collection of cookbooks.
- I order my favourite pizza at pizza24.com!
4

When did you last do sports?
- I'd rather do sports than surf the Internet.
- Every day, what else is there to do?
- I love sports! I play Pro Evolution Soccer every day.
- I prefer browsing the internet and watching TV to sports.
5

When was the last time you read a book?
- Actually, I am reading this fantastic book at the moment, which I bought in a beautiful small bookshop.
- I am not interested in books, but I had to read one for school last year. It was terrible!
- I do not read very much, although I think it is enjoyable to sit down with a glass of wine and read a good book.
- I’ve heard that books exist, but I find them a little counter-intuitive.
6

When was the last time you played a non-digital game, such as chess?
- Chess? Isn't that the new WoW add-on?
- What does digital mean?
- I can't remember the last time I played a non-digital game. If I had such a memory, it probably got lost the last time my hard drive crashed.
- My family has a games night every Sunday. It’s great fun!
7

Do you ever google your friends?
- Sometimes, but the internet always gives me too much information about my friends.
- Of course. When I meet someone new, the first thing I do is google him on my iPhone as soon as his back is turned.
- What is Google?
- I look up my friends in the phone book and yellow pages if I need their number.
8

How often do you see your grandparents?
- Me and my family visit them every day for lunch and stay for a cup of tea. I love to hear stories from their childhood.
- Oh, I just downloaded this new version of Skype so I can communicate with them via my computer. Never mind that they haven’t worked out how to use it!
- We visit them sometimes, but mostly we talk on the phone. I much prefer seeing them.
- Oh, I see them every day! Whenever I play 'The Sims 2'! But I’m really sad they just have 4 more days to live, because then I’ll have to create new grandparents.
9

How do you document your holiday?
- I have a digital camera. At home I upload the photos to my image library.
- I write a journal entry for every day and sometimes I draw pictures of the beautiful scenery.
- I take pictures with my digital SLR camera. Videos are a cool feature, too. Since I have my laptop with me anyway I upload them directly to my blog.
- I buy one of these nifty disposable cameras. You just press a button and have the pictures printed at your local drugstore.
10

When was the last time you wrote a letter?
- I don't write many letters these days, but if I am honest I really prefer letters to e-mail. There’s something about the way paper feels and ink smells that feels so much more human.
- I write letters to my friends every day, using a fountain pen and expensive paper.
- I wrote a post-it note to remind myself when to pick up my laptop computer from the repair shop. Does that count?
- I tried writing a letter once, but could not find the 'Send' button on the envelope, so I gave up.
11

Can you disable the T9 mode of your cell phone?
- Cell phones? You mean these little gadgets that cause cancer?
- What? There is a different mode from T9?
- Of course. T9 is so time-consuming and old-fashioned. Me, I send 300 texts a day, how am I supposed to do that using slow old T9?
- I tried for hours, months, years. I even consulted the manual, but unfortunately my Swedish isn’t that great and I can’t read Chinese signs either.
