who are the digital natives and what is web 2.0?

Starting questions/topics:

Demographics
Characteristics
What makes the Digital Natives tick?
What excites them?
What is Web 2.0?
How is it different from Web 1.0?
What kinds of activities does it enable?
How are the Digital Natives using it?
Just how connected are they?
Is there a philosophy/philosophical (coherent) underpinning to its development?
Links between philosophy and teaching/learning (indeed, is this what is motivating Web 2.0's development re education?)
Just how extensive/significant will the changes be? Can we tell?
What about the 'less connected'? Will they get left behind?
