Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Several American and Canadian authors have stated that children born after 1980 have a common relationship to digital media and have labeled them net generation or digital natives. They have characterized the so-called digital natives with a number of attributes that constitute a generation. This paper tries to deconstruct the net generation thesis by sketching a sequence of arguments used to deconstruct the digital natives thesis and by explaining the structure of the discourse. This paper is aiming at the methodology of argumentation, trying to abstract the logical hierarchy and sequence of thoughts that led to a refutation of the net generation hypothesis. An extensive study of more than 70 empirical surveys, including two surveys by the author, has been published elsewhere.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
