I will frame it and hang it in my orifice. There was a time when I worked with edge punched cards that could be sorted by sticking a big needle through the deck and the ones you were seeking would fall out. That was the first step in data retrieval. The next was to read what was handwritten on the card. Thank you. I will frame it and hang it in my orifice.

I'm just niggling, poking fun. I know that many naturalized citizens can be 99.8% fluent in the second language .. and no doubt you are. I'm just sayin' ... you learned to navigate your world of words, pictures, ideas, symbols and your imagination in an analog world. As did I. My first adult job was in a bank, where we balanced the day's work using a big 11 x 24 ledger card. Three years later there were terminals all over the bank branch, and a year after that the first ATM's arrived. ;-) Please excuse my pedantry. You are hereby awarded an Hon. DNCA (digital native certificate of authentication). I understand. I’m just niggling, poking fun.

I immigrated to these parts when the land was first discovered... arrived on the Viking ships and stayed, I did. Built a lot of the houses these kids live in. Sure I remember teller lines in banks before there were cash machines, and I remember the first generation of digital clocks that had the numerals painted on bits of tin. So if you want to mince words, it's true I wasn't born on these shores, because these shores only existed in our imaginations then. But I'm a naturalized citizen in this my own, my native land.

We're too old. Our mother tongue is analog. I may well be off base here, but the definitions I know of ‘digital native’ would slot you as a digital immigrant, Frank.
