However, male students play computer games more often than female students. It was also found that students are heavy Internet users and most of them have full access to smart phone, mobile computer and broadband Internet. ...

    The aim of this study was to explore the pre-university students' experience in using digital technology and investigate if they are classified as Digital Native. Data was collected using a questionnaire and 135 pre-university students participated in this study. It was found that female students expressed more frequent use of cell phone for calling/ texting and listen to music, compared to male students. However, male students play computer games more often than female students. It was also found that students are heavy Internet users and most of them have full access to smart phone, mobile computer and broadband Internet. Generally, the pre-university students are digital natives but surprisingly, female students are characterized to be more digital natives.
